Question
I wanted to access the thumb cache of vista and 7 to be used in my ImageList. I know how to do it in XP by means of the thumbs.db files, but in vista and 7 the thumbs.db is not present so how will i do it?
Solution
You need to use IShellItemImageFactory::GetImage().
.NET interop is here. http://www.pinvoke.net/default.aspx/Interfaces.IShellItemImageFactory
There is also a sample using Direct2D and this interface on msdn.microsoft.com.
