Return Value
Nonzero if successful; otherwise 0.
Parameters
cx
Dimensions of each image, in pixels.
cy
Dimensions of each image, in pixels.
nFlags
Specifies the type of image list to create. This parameter can be a combination of the following values, but it can include only one of the ILC_COLOR values.
| Value | Meaning |
| ILC_COLOR | Use the default behavior if none of the other ILC_COLOR* flags is specified. Typically, the default is ILC_COLOR4; but for older display drivers, the default is ILC_COLORDDB. |
| ILC_COLOR4 | Use a 4-bit (16 color) device-independent bitmap (DIB) section as the bitmap for the image list. |
| ILC_COLOR8 | Use an 8-bit DIB section. The colors used for the color table are the same colors as the halftone palette. |
| ILC_COLOR16 | Use a 16-bit (32/64k color) DIB section. |
| ILC_COLOR24 | Use a 24-bit DIB section. |
| ILC_COLOR32 | Use a 32-bit DIB section. |
| ILC_COLORDDB | Use a device-dependent bitmap. |
| ILC_MASK | Uses a mask. The image list contains two bitmaps, one of which is a monochrome bitmap used as a mask. If this value is not included, the image list contains only one bitmap. |
nInitial
Number of images that the image list initially contains.
nGrow
Number of images by which the image list can grow when the system needs to resize the list to make room for new images. This parameter represents the number of new images the resized image list can contain.
nBitmapID
Resource IDs of the bitmap to be associated with the image list.
crMask
Color used to generate a mask. Each pixel of this color in the specified bitmap is changed to black, and the corresponding bit in the mask is set to one.
lpszBitmapID
A string containing the resource IDs of the images.
imagelist1
A reference to a CImageList object.
nImage1
Index of the first existing image.
imagelist2
A reference to a CImageList object.
nImage2
Index of the second existing image.
dx
Offset of the x-axis of the second image in relationship to the first image, in pixels.
dy
Offset of the y-axis of the second image in relationship to the first image, in pixels.
pImageList
A pointer to a CImageList object.
Remarks
You construct a CImageList in two steps. First call the constructor, then call Create, which creates the image list and attaches it to the CImageList object.
Example
// The pointer to my image list.
extern CImageList* pmyImageList;
pmyImageList->Create(32, 32, ILC_COLOR8, 0, 4);
