CImageList containing windows system icons

You need also to do some shell programming in order to get the proper icons.

Here's an excerpt from a class the does populate a checkboxed tree with folders and proper icons (starting from 'Desktop' item)

LPITEMIDLIST MakeCopy(LPCITEMIDLIST pidl)
{
      LPITEMIDLIST pidlTemp = (LPITEMIDLIST) pidl;

      // Calculate size of list.
      UINT cb = pidl->mkid.cb + sizeof(pidl->mkid.cb);

      LPITEMIDLIST pidlRet = (LPITEMIDLIST)g_pMalloc->Alloc(cb);
      if (pidlRet)
            CopyMemory(pidlRet, pidl, cb);
      return pidlRet;
}

// CTargetTree message handlers

void CTargetTree::Populate(HTREEITEM hItem /*= NULL*/)
{

      }

First, draw the icons on a single bitmap, one by one next to each other. Make each icon same size, eg 16x16 pixels. Have the image saved as bmp. Add the image to the application resources. Then somewhere duing initialization (for example your treeviews OnInitialUpdate()) create the imagelist and give ot to the treectrl

like this:

m_pIconImageList = new CImageList;
m_pIconImageList->Create( IDB_ICONS , 16 , 1 , RGB(255,0,255) );
m_tree.SetImageList( m_pIconImageList, TVSIL_NORMAL );

where IDB_ICONS is the resource id of you icon bitmap, and RGB(255,0,255) is the transparent color - in this case pink.

Then when inserting items in the tree control do:

m_tree.InsertItem( "SomeNode" , 0 , 1 );

The 0 is the unselected image, and the 1 is the selected image for the node.

A great way to draw good icons is to use a vector based graphics program. I used openoffice's draw. Then when done, I zoom in close to the icon (mabe around 300x300 pixels, not important as long as it is quite big) and take a screenshot. The icon is then resized to 16x16 in a graphics program, I use irfanview. The resizing gives you nice small smooth looking icons which are difficult to draw by hand.
