Creating bitmaps or icons at run time for a list-view control

[michael_green]

Hi All,

I would like to able to use a list-view control (in report style) to display geographical map legends in a dialog box. I would have a couple of columns displaying text in the usual way, but I'd also like the leftmost column to contain an image of some sort to represent a pattern or colour-fill on the map. For example, if the map displays national park as being diagonally hatched in green, I want a small example of this, in a box, in the list view next to the text "Natonal Park", etc, etc.

In my system there are many thousands of possible colour and hatch combinations so I would need to create this sort of thing on the fly. How do I do it? Can it even be done?

Any insights or clues as to where to do some research would be much appreciated.

With many thanks in advance,

Mike

You might try searchingMicrosoft win32 Groups at GOOGLE, concerning list view and icons in report view.

Also, if I remember correctly,the SDK has a pretty good write up on using icons in list view's report view.If you haven't already looked at the SDK, give that a try first.
