Get Windows icons for files in a ListView?

[Jeff Connelly]

Let's say I know a file extension and I want to get the Windows icon for
that type of file, and put that icon in the image for an item in a list
view. Would this be possible without loading all possible Windows icons
into the image list at compile time? In other words, is there a way to
dynamically put in the image for a list view item at runtime, and get it
from Windows based on the extension type?
