[wxpython-users] [OT]: Manipulating Icons

[Andrea Gavana]

Hi All,

    sorry for the OT, this is probably a Windows/Python question
instead of a wxPython one, but I know that some of the regular posters
are Windows gurus and I'd like to ask for some advice.
In one of my applications, I store certain files (with the extension
.DATA) using a database, and I would like to change the icon of these
files in Windows Explorer (not the entire icon, I'd like just to add a
small image over the original Windows Explorer icon to signal that
this particular file is present in the database). The problem is,
there are many other DATA file which are not stored in the database
(because they are less relevant to our work) and I'd like to leave
those files icons untouched. Something akin what
TortoiseCVS/TortoiseSVN do: they add a small image over the original
file icon to signal if they are up-to-date, modified, etc...

Does anyone know if this is possible and how?

Thank you for your suggestions.

Andrea.
