Combine cimagelists into a new one?

Hello,

Can anyone give me an example of how to combine 2 CImageList into another CImageList resulting in a CImageList that contains all of the images?

One CImageList contains system shell icons and another contains images loaded locally from the application. Ultimately, I need to fill a CTreeCtrl with a mixture of images from both lists.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Paul

What I have tried:

I've tried using the Create function that takes two image lists as parameters but that just overlays the images on each other it doesn't 'add' them together.

Hi Thanks for the suggestion.

I actually found that article in my quest. Problem is the system image list has 174 or so icons and looping that code to get each image as a bitmap doesn't sound like the best idea - Although I may need to end up doing it that way.

Thank You!

Thanks for responding but as far as I can tell the Add member doesn't add ImageLists, it adds bitmaps and Icons...

<pre>int Add(
    CBitmap* pbmImage,
    CBitmap* pbmMask);

int Add(
    CBitmap* pbmImage,
    COLORREF crMask);

int Add(HICON hIcon);

It would work if I can extract the bitmap from the CImageList.

Thanks again!

Use the CImageList Class | Microsoft Docs[^] Add() method to combine the lists.
