The ImageList_Create function creates a new image list.
HIMAGELIST ImageList_Create(
| int cx, | |
| int cy, | |
| UINT flags, | |
| int cInitial, | |
| int cGrow | |
| ); |
Parameters
cx
Specifies the width, in pixels, of each image.
cy
Specifies the height, in pixels, of each image.
flags
A 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 | Meaning |
| 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 | Uses 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. |
cInitial
Number of images that the image list initially contains.
cGrow
Amount of images by which the image list can grow when the system needs to resize the list to make room for new images. This parameter represents the number of new images that the resized image list can contain.
Return Values
If the function succeeds, the return value is the handle to the image list.
If the function fails, the return value NULL.
