    Default Obtaining a Windows file icon using fromWinHBITMAP()

    I am getting a Windows file icon via Win Api methods. Then I convert it to QT QIcon and use in my application. Everything seems to be good, but I see a little difference between my icons and those in Windows Explorer(Look at the attached image, left part is my app, right part is Windows Explorer). I think it may be related to shadows or Alpha channel. May be smb can help me to fix this?
    Here is my code for obtaining an icon:

    Qt Code:
    1. // fileInfo.hIcon obtained via SHGetFileInfo with flags SHGFI_ICON | SHGFI_SMALLICON
    2. ICONINFO iconInfo;
    3. if ( GetIconInfo(fileInfo.hIcon, &iconInfo) )
    4. {
    5. QPixmap &iconPixmap = QPixmap::fromWinHBITMAP(
    6. iconInfo.hbmColor,
    7. QPixmap::NoAlpha);
    8.  
    9. QBitmap iconMaskBitmap(
    10. QPixmap::fromWinHBITMAP(iconInfo.hbmMask,
    11. QPixmap::NoAlpha) );
    12.  
    13. iconPixmap.setMask(iconMaskBitmap);
    14.  
    15. resultingIcon = QIcon(iconPixmap) ;
    16. }

    Have you tried with QFileIconProvider?

    Yes, it does not return a proper file icon.
    I've looked in sources it returns a standard QStyle::SP_FileIcon for all files.
    I'll use it for Windows drives, thanks to you, but the problem is not solved.
