ImageList_Add

  • Article

This function adds an image or images to an image list.

int WINAPI ImageList_Add(
  HIMAGELIST himl, 
  HBITMAP hbmImage, 
  HBITMAP hbmMask 
);

Parameters

  • himl
    [in] Handle to the image list.
  • hbmImage
    [in] Handle to the bitmap that contains the image or images. The number of images is inferred from the width of the bitmap.
  • hbmMask
    [in] Handle to the bitmap that contains the mask. If no mask is used with the image list, this parameter is ignored.

Return Values

The index of the first new image indicates success. –1 indicates failure.

Remarks

The ImageList_Add function copies the bitmap to an internal data structure. Be sure to use the DeleteObject function to delete hbmImage and hbmMask after the function returns.

ImageList_Add does not support device-independent bitmaps (DIBs).

Requirements

OS Versions: Windows CE 1.0 and later.
Header: Commctrl.h.
Link Library: Commctrl.lib, Imgctl.lib.
