This function creates a new image list.

Syntax

HIMAGELIST WINAPI ImageList_Create(
  int cx, 
  int cy, 
  UINT flags, 
  int cInitial, 
  int cGrow 
);

Parameters

  • cx
    [in] Width, in pixels, of each image.
  • cy
    [in] Height, in pixels, of each image.

  • flags
    [in] Set of bit flags that specify 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 Description

    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

    Use 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.

    ILC_MIRROR

    Use this flag on a mirrored version of Windows Embedded CE to instruct the image list not to automatically mirror images. Windows Embedded CE can be mirrored to display languages such as Hebrew or Arabic that read right-to-left. If the image list is created on a mirrored version of Windows Embedded CE, then the images in the lists are mirrored, that is, they are flipped so they display from right to left.
  • cInitial
    [in] Number of images that the image list initially contains.
  • cGrow
    [in] Number of images by which the image list can grow when the system needs to make room for new images. This parameter represents the number of new images that the resized image list can contain.

Return Value

The handle to the image list indicates success. NULL indicates failure.
