Image Lists

This section contains information about the programming elements used with image lists.

Overviews

Topic Contents
Image Lists An image list is a collection of images of the same size, each of which can be referred to by its index.

Functions

Topic Contents
HIMAGELIST_QueryInterface Retrieves a pointer to an IImageList or IImageList2 object that corresponds to the image list's HIMAGELIST handle.
ImageList_Add Adds an image or images to an image list.
ImageList_AddMasked Adds an image or images to an image list, generating a mask from the specified bitmap.
ImageList_BeginDrag Begins dragging an image.
ImageList_CoCreateInstance Creates a single instance of an imagelist and returns an interface pointer to it.
ImageList_Copy Copies images within a given image list.
ImageList_Create Creates a new image list.
ImageList_Destroy Destroys an image list.
ImageList_DragEnter Displays the drag image at the specified position within the window.
ImageList_DragLeave Unlocks the specified window and hides the drag image, allowing the window to be updated.
ImageList_DragMove Moves the image that is being dragged during a drag-and-drop operation. This function is typically called in response to a WM_MOUSEMOVE message.
ImageList_DragShowNolock Shows or hides the image being dragged.
ImageList_Draw Draws an image list item in the specified device context.
ImageList_DrawEx Draws an image list item in the specified device context. The function uses the specified drawing style and blends the image with the specified color.
ImageList_DrawIndirect Draws an image list image based on an IMAGELISTDRAWPARAMS structure.
ImageList_Duplicate Creates a duplicate of an existing image list.
ImageList_EndDrag Ends a drag operation.
ImageList_GetBkColor Retrieves the current background color for an image list.
ImageList_GetDragImage Retrieves the temporary image list that is used for the drag image. The function also retrieves the current drag position and the offset of the drag image relative to the drag position.
ImageList_GetIcon Creates an icon from an image and mask in an image list.
ImageList_GetIconSize Retrieves the dimensions of images in an image list. All images in an image list have the same dimensions.
ImageList_GetImageCount Retrieves the number of images in an image list.
ImageList_GetImageInfo Retrieves information about an image.
ImageList_LoadImage Creates an image list from the specified bitmap.
ImageList_Merge Creates a new image by combining two existing images. The function also creates a new image list in which to store the image.
ImageList_Read Reads an image list from a stream.
ImageList_ReadEx Reads an image list from a stream, and returns an interface to the image list.
ImageList_Remove Removes an image from an image list.
ImageList_Replace Replaces an image in an image list with a new image.
ImageList_ReplaceIcon Replaces an image with an icon or cursor.
ImageList_SetBkColor Sets the background color for an image list. This function only works if you add an icon or use ImageList_AddMasked with a black and white bitmap. Without a mask, the entire image is drawn; hence the background color is not visible.
ImageList_SetColorTable Sets the color table for an image list.
ImageList_SetDragCursorImage Creates a new drag image by combining the specified image (typically a mouse cursor image) with the current drag image.
ImageList_SetIconSize Sets the dimensions of images in an image list and removes all images from the list.
ImageList_SetImageCount Resizes an existing image list.
ImageList_SetOverlayImage Adds a specified image to the list of images to be used as overlay masks. An image list can have up to four overlay masks in version 4.70 and earlier and up to 15 in version 4.71. The function assigns an overlay mask index to the specified image.
ImageList_Write Writes an image list to a stream.
ImageList_WriteEx Writes an image list to a stream.

Macros

Topic Contents
ImageList_AddIcon Adds an icon or cursor to an image list. ImageList_AddIcon calls the ImageList_ReplaceIcon function.
ImageList_ExtractIcon Calls the ImageList_GetIcon function to create an icon or cursor based on an image and mask in an image list.
ImageList_LoadBitmap Calls the ImageList_LoadImage function to create an image list from the specified bitmap resource.
ImageList_RemoveAll Calls the ImageList_Remove function to remove all of the images from an image list.
INDEXTOOVERLAYMASK Prepares the index of an overlay mask so that the ImageList_Draw function can use it.

Interfaces

Topic Contents
IImageList Exposes methods that manipulate and interact with image lists.
To use IImageList, specify Comctl32.dll version 6 in the manifest. If you do not do this, Comctl32.dll version 5 will be used by default, with which IImageList could display unpredictable behavior. For more information on manifests, see Enabling Visual Styles.

Methods

Topic Contents
Add Adds an image or images to an image list.
AddMasked Adds an image or images to an image list, generating a mask from the specified bitmap.
BeginDrag Begins dragging an image.
Clone Clones an existing image list.
Copy Copies images from a given image list.
DragEnter Locks updates to the specified window during a drag operation and displays the drag image at the specified position within the window.
DragLeave Unlocks the specified window and hides the drag image, which enables the window to update.
DragMove Moves the image that is being dragged during a drag-and-drop operation. This function is typically called in response to a WM_MOUSEMOVE message.
DragShowNolock Shows or hides the image being dragged.
Draw Draws an image list item in the specified device context.
EndDrag Ends a drag operation.
GetBkColor Gets the current background color for an image list.
GetDragImage Gets the temporary image list that is used for the drag image. The function also retrieves the current drag position and the offset of the drag image relative to the drag position.
GetIcon Creates an icon from an image and a mask in an image list.
GetIconSize Gets the dimensions of images in an image list. All images in an image list have the same dimensions.
GetImageCount Gets the number of images in an image list.
GetImageInfo Gets information about an image.
GetImageRect Gets an image's bounding rectangle.
GetItemFlags Gets the flags of an image.
GetOverlayImage Retrieves a specified image from the list of images used as overlay masks.
Merge Creates a new image by combining two existing images. This method also creates a new image list in which to store the image.
Remove Removes an image from an image list.
Replace Replaces an image in an image list with a new image.
ReplaceIcon Replaces an image with an icon or cursor.
SetBkColor Sets the background color for an image list. This method only functions if you add an icon to the image list or use the IImageList::AddMasked method to add a black and white bitmap. Without a mask, the entire image draws, and the background color is not visible.
SetDragCursorImage Creates a new drag image by combining the specified image, which is typically a mouse cursor image, with the current drag image.
SetIconSize Sets the dimensions of images in an image list and removes all images from the list.
SetImageCount Resizes an existing image list.
SetOverlayImage Adds a specified image to the list of images used as overlay masks. An image list can have up to four overlay masks in Common Controls version 4.70 and earlier, and up to 15 in version 4.71 or later. The method assigns an overlay mask index to the specified image.

Structures

Topic Contents
IMAGEINFO Contains information about an image in an image list. This structure is used with the IImageList::GetImageInfo function.
IMAGELISTDRAWPARAMS Contains information about an image list draw operation and is used with the IImageList::Draw function.
