Cimagelist in clistCtrl

[Dadidum]

Dear Sir/Madam ~

I have a clistctrl, for each item in the list, there is a defined icon I would like to use

itemA->iconA.ico
itemB->iconB.ico
itemC->iconC.ico
...

long list

How can I use those icons in my listcontrol ?


Thank you Sir/Madam ~ very much

See LoadImage, CImageList::Add, CListCtrl::SetImageList and more.

Hmmm, I seem to get the idea of cimagelist now
But still
I have used Shell32 function to insert system icons (available worldwide by google, so please I am not posting it again here) into list control sucessfully, now I wonder how the clistctrl's setimagelist distinguishes each added data/file's identity to assign it an appropriate icon ?
If I reason the same steps as you explain, I am stuck. Could Sir ovidiucuu ******** ?

Thank you Sir ovidiucucu

See CListCtrl::InsertItem and CListCtrl::SetItem.
You will notice a parameter which is an index in the imagelist.
See also List Items and Image Lists.

Hello, ovidiucucu
I have tried
HICON hi=ExtractAssociateIcon(afxgetinstancehandle(),_T("C:\\windows\\shell32.dll"),&dw);
imglisg.add(hi);

hi contains valid value (!NULL) but I have got an assertion failure at the add function

What is afxgetinstancehandle?
What is dw?
What is imglisg.add(hi);?


PLease, show your actual code, not a pseudo-code.
