Updated, faster renderings. Based on of my c32bppDIB suite, supports pngs, xp/vista icons, and other common graphics. One control that supports multiple imagelists (same/different sizes). THIS IS NOT TRULY DESIGNED to be added uncompiled to a project, rather it is designed to be a stand-alone OCX. The property page is optional if you just need a runtime-only imagelist. 15Nov07:: Added optional image compression if GDI+/zLib not on O/S, added optional image key/tag compression, added multi-select browse, multi-file drag&drop, multi-file Copy&Paste abilities, added image re-ordering via dragging, added importing from VB imagelists, and fixed some minor bugs. 23Nov07: Masks were not kept with multi-selected files, added several more properties/methods, more examples. 3Dec07: Overhauled class structure, fixed minor errors with property page, added more to the RTF file. Barring bugs, moving on to something new. 8Jan08: Significantly faster rendering from the imagelist. GDI+ would process entire DIB at times to render one image. When imagelist is massive size, slow down noticable. Using a rendering-only DIB can improve drawing multiple images over 30x faster for large lists.
Open with Group1.vbg. See Usage_ImageList.RTF file for overview.

Will update again this weekend. Added Huffman compression when GDI+/zLIB not avail for saving list as PNG. Fixed minor bugs that won't save Key if only case sensitivity changes; fixed where simply entering/exit Tag will trigger change notification. Played with GUI a bit, working on re-ordering of images and some other minor stuff.

' 9. Any image in the imagelist can be rendered with modified attributes: rotated, grayscaled, lighter, darker, etc.
and how is possible to browse an image and automatically reduce it to icon format...
this is absolutely wonderful Keith...
wow, what a big effort you did!...:)
thank you so much

FYI. Property page nearly good to go. Discovered couple minor graphical issues when scrolling imagelist. If cImageLists (plural) exists in zip, ignore it; will be removed. Posting updates in near future.

@pietro. Are you asking for an ExtractIcon function? Thinking about it, but on Win2K and lower, the icon will render poorly since those cannot render alpha blended icons and VB can't load them either.

Excellent! One suggestion for improvement is implementation of System Image List especially to get the icon associated to a file extension, folder or drive. Think about it.

Re-writing for a "final" release, barring bugs & future enhancements. The class structure is being converted to OOP norms. So to get/set a image key, one would use uc.ImageLists(n).Images(x).Key vs the non-standard current method of uc.ImageLists(x).Key(x). The structure I'm using is very similar to ListView ListItems.

@Rana Sohaib. MSN6 appears to be custom control. The ListView is closest thing to it. This ImageList control cannot be used with ListView but should be compatible with other custom grid controls. PSC, here, has custom control grids. Recommend trying some of them.
@Sooekd. Replied off line for more info.

I do not want to take away anything from this code... It is VERY well written and top-notch. 5 Globes. Just some creating criticism...the properties page should be a little clearer. It is not easy to understand at first. Also, Does this need to be used with your image box control?

Last update uses a separate DIB to speed up rendering overall. When an imagelist (IL) is very large, contains 100's of images or dozens of very large images > 128x128, GDI+ slows down while accessing specific regions of that IL bitmap. The 2nd bitmap is size of a single image only and the code now copies the image from the IL to the 2nd bitmap and that bitmap is used to render from. On an IL using 60 128x128 images, rendering all 60 before update: 10 secs; after update: .02 secs

For both this project and your fantastic AlphaImage control, I get the dreaded error 80004005 when I try to register compiled OCXs. The AlphaImage control runs fine in the IDE. This on Vista Home Premium. Am I being thick? Obviously nothing that wouldn't be cured by you giving me a brain dump, so I could write code as cool as yours!

One thing though, the technique used in the subclassing module "cCDECL.cls" don't work on systems with DEP capable CPUs with DEP enabled...

Hello,
LaVolpeImageList.ocx don't remove from memory! See bellow:
Creater 2 forms "Form1" and "Form2", put a command button in "Form1" and put a "LaVolpeImageList.ocx" with same images in form2.
Form1 - Put this routine:
Private Sub Command1_Click()
Dim i As Integer
For i = 0 To 200
DoEvents
Form2.Show
Unload Form2
Next
End Sub
Compliete an executable and run. When you click on Button of Form1, Form2 will be show and unload by Form1. Open Task Manager "taskmgr" and you'll see the use of memory increases.
I put this example in my website:
http://www.upperwork.com/memory_usage.zip
Sorry for my Bad english!
