## Detailed Description

A wxImageList contains a list of images, which are stored in an unspecified form.

Images can have masks for transparent drawing, and can be made from a variety of sources including bitmaps and icons.

wxImageList is used principally in conjunction with wxTreeCtrl and wxListCtrl classes.

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

wxImageList::wxImageList | ( |  | ) |

Default ctor.

wxImageList::wxImageList | ( | int | width,
|  | int | height,
|  | bool | mask = `true`,
|  | int | initialCount = `1` |
| ) |  |  |

Constructor specifying the image size, whether image masks should be created, and the initial size of the list.

Parameters:

  | width | Width of the images in the list.
  | height | Height of the images in the list.
  | mask | true if masks should be created for all images.
  | initialCount | The initial size of the list.

  Create()

## Member Function Documentation

int wxImageList::Add | ( | const wxBitmap & | bitmap,
|  | const wxBitmap & | mask = `wxNullBitmap` |
| ) |  |  |

Adds a new image or images using a bitmap and optional mask bitmap.

Parameters:

  | bitmap | Bitmap representing the opaque areas of the image.
  | mask | Monochrome mask bitmap, representing the transparent areas of the image.

Returns:
  The new zero-based image index.

Remarks:
  The original bitmap or icon is not affected by the Add() operation, and can be deleted afterwards. If the bitmap is wider than the images in the list, then the bitmap will automatically be split into smaller images, each matching the dimensions of the image list. This does not apply when adding icons.

int wxImageList::Add | ( | const wxBitmap & | bitmap,
|  | const wxColour & | maskColour |
| ) |  |  |

Adds a new image or images using a bitmap and mask colour.

Parameters:

  | bitmap | Bitmap representing the opaque areas of the image.
  | maskColour | Colour indicating which parts of the image are transparent.

Returns:
  The new zero-based image index.

Remarks:
  The original bitmap or icon is not affected by the Add() operation, and can be deleted afterwards. If the bitmap is wider than the images in the list, then the bitmap will automatically be split into smaller images, each matching the dimensions of the image list. This does not apply when adding icons.

int wxImageList::Add | ( | const wxIcon & | icon | ) |

Adds a new image using an icon.

Parameters:

  | icon | Icon to use as the image.

Returns:
  The new zero-based image index.

Remarks:
  The original bitmap or icon is not affected by the Add() operation, and can be deleted afterwards. If the bitmap is wider than the images in the list, then the bitmap will automatically be split into smaller images, each matching the dimensions of the image list. This does not apply when adding icons.

Availability: only available for the wxMSW, wxOSX ports.

bool wxImageList::Create | ( | int | width,
|  | int | height,
|  | bool | mask = `true`,
|  | int | initialCount = `1` |
| ) |  |  |

Initializes the list.

See wxImageList() for details.

virtual bool wxImageList::Draw | ( | int | index,
|  | wxDC & | dc,
|  | int | x,
|  | int | y,
|  | int | flags = `wxIMAGELIST_DRAW_NORMAL`,
|  | bool | solidBackground = `false` |
| ) |  |  | `[virtual]`

Draws a specified image onto a device context.

Parameters:

  | index | Image index, starting from zero.
  | dc | Device context to draw on.
  | x | X position on the device context.
  | y | Y position on the device context.
  | flags | How to draw the image. A bitlist of a selection of the following: wxIMAGELIST_DRAW_NORMAL: Draw the image normally. wxIMAGELIST_DRAW_TRANSPARENT: Draw the image with transparency. wxIMAGELIST_DRAW_SELECTED: Draw the image in selected state. wxIMAGELIST_DRAW_FOCUSED: Draw the image in a focused state.
  | solidBackground | For optimisation - drawing can be faster if the function is told that the background is solid.

wxBitmap wxImageList::GetBitmap | ( | int | index | ) | const

Returns the bitmap corresponding to the given index.

wxIcon wxImageList::GetIcon | ( | int | index | ) | const

Returns the icon corresponding to the given index.

virtual int wxImageList::GetImageCount | ( |  | ) | const`[virtual]`

Returns the number of images in the list.

virtual bool wxImageList::GetSize | ( | int | index,
|  | int & | width,
|  | int & | height |
| ) |  |  | const`[virtual]`

Retrieves the size of the images in the list.

Currently, the index parameter is ignored as all images in the list have the same size.

Parameters:

  | index | currently unused, should be 0
  | width | receives the width of the images in the list
  | height | receives the height of the images in the list

Returns:
  true if the function succeeded, false if it failed (for example, if the image list was not yet initialized).

bool wxImageList::Remove | ( | int | index | ) |

Removes the image at the given position.

bool wxImageList::RemoveAll | ( |  | ) |

Removes all the images in the list.

bool wxImageList::Replace | ( | int | index,
|  | const wxIcon & | icon |
| ) |  |  |

Replaces the existing image with the new image.

Parameters:

  | index | The index of the bitmap to be replaced.
  | icon | Icon to use as the image.

Returns:
  true if the replacement was successful, false otherwise.

Remarks:
  The original bitmap or icon is not affected by the Replace() operation, and can be deleted afterwards.

Availability: only available for the wxMSW, wxOSX ports.

bool wxImageList::Replace | ( | int | index,
|  | const wxBitmap & | bitmap,
|  | const wxBitmap & | mask = `wxNullBitmap` |
| ) |  |  |

Replaces the existing image with the new image.

Windows only.

Parameters:

  | index | The index of the bitmap to be replaced.
  | bitmap | Bitmap representing the opaque areas of the image.
  | mask | Monochrome mask bitmap, representing the transparent areas of the image.

Returns:
  true if the replacement was successful, false otherwise.

Remarks:
  The original bitmap or icon is not affected by the Replace() operation, and can be deleted afterwards.
