Hi all. I am using VS2019 C# with Windows 10 x64.
I am looking into the listView control. I've got it work, no prob. I "linked" an image list to it to display icons in the list view. I loaded the image list with ICO files that contain 24x24 and 48x48 icons, planning to make use of the Small and Large icon options.
How do I access the 24x24 or 48x48 icons depending on the listview view type?
I found the following:
But I hope that fater 12 years, there is a better practice to accomplish this. Thanks! Saga
You can see this article for example : C# ListView
Thanks! I've seen a few articles, but not this one! Saga
@Saga , is any update? I think Castorix31's example is good. If you don't mind, please click "Accept Answer" and upvote it
Yes, you are correct. That link gave me ideas to find the solution which was to set the imagelist size as shown in the example. I've accepted that as the answer. Thank you both for you help. Saga
Your option is to settle with SmallImageList and LargeImageList so you need to separate them by size.
Thank you, Is there an ideal size for the small and large icons?
I am now creating two image lists, one specifically for the 48x48 icons and another for the 24x24 ones. I can change the size of these if necessary. Saga
Is there an ideal size for the small and large icons?
Personal thought is it depends on what you are presenting, seems like what you have is fine rather than say 16x16 in place of 24x24 which I'd say is perfect and same goes for 48x48.
I did some tests, and I am now getting the small icons and the large icons as they should be.
I took the original icon file and extracted the 48x48 and 24x24 sized icons and saved them in separate icon files.
I then created two image lists, for the small and large icons. In the SmallImgList I added all the 24x24 icons and in the LargeImglist I added all the 48x48 icons.
I set the image list sizes to 24x24 and 48x48 for the small and large icons, respectively. I also set the Bit depth to 32, as these ICO file have that depth.
Now when I click the "Details" button, the small icons display. Clicking the Icon view displays the icons, but they display blurry:
The image on the left is the original 48x48 icon and the image on the right is how the 48x48 icon displays inside the list view. What can be happening here? Should I make the original icon bigger than 48? Maybe 64? I am looking into this, but any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks Saga
Update: I redid all icons to 256 x 256 and this made a positive difference in their presentation.
