QIcon and System Icons

[tntcoda]

Hi,

I have a QTreeWidget control, displaying various file names that don't exist on the system. Is there any possible way to load the system icon into a QIcon for a specific file type?

For example, say i have a string in my QTreeWidget "myfile.cpp" can I load the system icon associated with a .cpp file into a QIcon to display in the QTreeWidget?

Probably a long shot, but i really hope its doable :)

Thanks very much,

Jack

On Linux/Unix you could look at XDG desktop specs (for PyQt - pyxdg). On other OS I don't know. You would have to load the icon from the folder where system keeps it's icons by hand (or with the help of MIME detection).
