- dirPath String
-
The directory path.
- iconSize IconSizes (Optional)
-
The requested icon size, in pixels.
Default value is 256.
Bitmap
The folder icon.
Because the Windows Icon Cache system creates icon's entry hashes
with some kind of process architecture differentiation,
the user must make sure to call
PreloadInIconCache(String, IconSizes) function from
a process that matches the same architecture of the running operating system.
In short,
PreloadInIconCache(String, IconSizes) function should be called
from a x64 process if running under Windows x64, and
from a x86 process if running under Windows x86.
Otherwise, if for example
PreloadInIconCache(String, IconSizes) function is called
from a x86 process if running under Windows x64, it will happen that
when accesing the specified folder via Explorer.exe, the operating system
will ignore the icon cached using
PreloadInIconCache(String, IconSizes) function,
and it will cache again the folder, generating a new additional entry
in the Icon Cache system files (C:\Users\{NAME}\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer\IconCache_xxx.db).
