Create a bitmap strip 2

[kshea]

Hi,

Does anyone know how to create a bitmap strip containing all
of the images I want to display in a tree view?

Thank you in advance.

The Visual C++ Resource Editor knows how to do it. Have you ever worked with it?

Thanks for your reply. But still can not create a Bitmap strip like this,

----------------------------
| | | |
|Imahe0|Image1|Image2|...
| | | |
----------------------------

Could you point me a right direction? Thanks.

If you mean what I think you mean you just create a bitmap
(Resource Editor -> Insert... -> Bitmap

This one bitmap holds all images in the "strip".
Ie if you want 4 16x16 images for the tree you size the bitmap to 64x16 and draw the separate images in it as apropriate.

You then pass the bitmap's ID to the CImageList's Create method when you set up the tree control/view.

kshea,

If you have no idea where to start do this: Create a AppWizard SDI application. This generates a bitmap strip for use in the toolbar for the application, so you can go and look at it using the resoruce editor.

In the resource editor under the Toolbar tree node, open the IDR_MAINFRAME item. This will show you how a standard bitmap strip is created in the resource editor.
