HIMAGELIST ImageList_Create(

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.
