wxArtProvider & Native Windows Icons.

[Ben Timby]

I am confused about wx.Artprovider in 2.8.11. ON Linux is returns the
native folder icon using:

--
wx.ArtProvider.GetBitmap(wx.ART_FOLDER, wx.ART_TOOLBAR, (width, height))
--

This does not work on Windows, I get a default icon that must be part
of wx. However, getting the folder icon using the win32api is easy:

--
import win32api
shell32 = win32api.GetModuleFileName(win32api.GetModuleHandle('shell32.dll'))
folder = wx.BitmapFromIcon(wx.Icon(shell32 + ';3', wx.BITMAP_TYPE_ICO))
--

Why is this not supported on Windows? Does a later version support it?
Any patches?

Thanks.

Hi,

There is no native implementation for the ArtProvider in 2.8 so it
just uses the generic wx icons. Would be nice to have a native
implementation available.
