How to get names of the icons on desktop

Question

guys. I want to obtain names of icons on desktop in c++. And I know how to get their handle:

HWND hwnd = FindWindow("Progman","Program Manager");
  HWND  hwndSHELLDLL_DefView = ::FindWindowEx( hwnd, NULL, "SHELLDLL_DefView", NULL ); 
  HWND  hwndSysListView32 = ::FindWindowEx( hwndSHELLDLL_DefView, NULL, "SysListView32", "FolderView" );

What's next?

Answer 1

First, you need to get the location of the desktop folder using SHGetFolderLocation .. Next, you enumerate the contents of this folder using IShellFolder::EnumObjects

From here, the sky is the limit. Tons of information on interacting with the windows shell here .

Have fun!

A quick google search turns up this sample which seems to do exactly what you want.
