Initializing the Image List

Every item in a tree-view control can have two images associated with it. An item displays one image when it is selected and the other when it is not. To include images with tree-view items, you must use the image list functions to create an image list and add images to it. Then you must associate the image list with the tree-view control by using the TVM_SETIMAGELIST message.

The following example creates an image list, adds three bitmaps to the list, and associates the image list with a tree-view control.

// InitTreeViewImageLists - creates an image list, adds three bitmaps to // it, and associates the image list with a tree-view control.

// Returns TRUE if successful or FALSE otherwise.

// hwndTV - handle of the tree-view control

//
// Global variables and constants

// g_nOpen, g_nClosed, and g_nDocument - integer variables for

// indexes of the images

// CX_BITMAP and CY_BITMAP - width and height of an icon

// NUM_BITMAPS - number of bitmaps to add to the image list

BOOL InitTreeViewImageLists(HWND hwndTV)

{

HIMAGELIST himl; // handle of image list

HBITMAP hbmp; // handle of bitmap

// Create the image list.

if ((himl = ImageList_Create(CX_BITMAP, CY_BITMAP,

FALSE, NUM_BITMAPS, 0)) == NULL)

return FALSE;

// Add the open file, closed file, and document bitmaps.

hbmp = LoadBitmap(g_hinst, MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDB_OPEN_FILE));

g_nOpen = ImageList_Add(himl, hbmp, (HBITMAP) NULL);

DeleteObject(hbmp);

hbmp = LoadBitmap(g_hinst, MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDB_CLOSED_FILE));

g_nClosed = ImageList_Add(himl, hbmp, (HBITMAP) NULL);

DeleteObject(hbmp);

hbmp = LoadBitmap(g_hinst, MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDB_DOCUMENT));

g_nDocument = ImageList_Add(himl, hbmp, (HBITMAP) NULL);

DeleteObject(hbmp);

// Fail if not all of the images were added.

if (ImageList_GetImageCount(himl) < 3)

return FALSE;

// Associate the image list with the tree-view control.

TreeView_SetImageList(hwndTV, himl, TVSIL_NORMAL);

return TRUE;

}

    Nostalgia .Net     .Net is powerful, but not all-powerful, so sometimes we need to use Win32 API for our .Net applications. It's simple enough with Platform Invoke if you have Win32 skill, but we do not always have time to dig the ancient documentation, declare the special types that are compatible with Win32, find the values of the Win32's constants and so on. Nostalgia .Net offers several simple-to-use classes, and components that will allow you to forget about the headache of Win32 and just use the power of Win32 in your application the same way as you use the native. Net classes. More »
