Then your lib files must be outdated.
If you can, install the newest paltform SDK, or install VS.NET beta 2 [that has the newest shell32.lib I hope]

Hi all,

I have modified a program I am writing to use an edit box instead of a list box for displaying text.

I was using insertstring to send text to the top line of the listbox:

m_theconv.InsertString(0, replyprefix + m_Reply);

What would be the best way to acheive this in an edit box????

(Yes - I am a newbie to VC++)

Any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Assuming it's still called m_theconv, you can

m_theconv.SetWindowText(replyprefix + m_Reply);

Hi, I've got a a CImageList which is loaded from a bitmap which uses approx 100 colors. When I display an image from it, it drops back to only using 16 colors. I've looked at all the help for CImageList and am at a bit of a loss. My guess is that it is something to do with palletes, but I often have trouble with this stuff. Any suggestions most welcome.

How are you creating the imagelist ? Are you specifying ILC_COLOR8 ( or higher ) ? If you go ILC_COLOR16 or higher then you'll have no palette to worry about at all.

How are you loading the images and putting them in ? I seem to recall having to load them as DIBSections.

Hi Christian,
I'm using using CImageList::Create() - flavour no 1. So you don't get to specify the ILC_xxx value. I assume it comes straight from the bitmap resource.

m_ItemImages = new CImageList;
BOOL bStat = m_ItemImages->Create( nBitmapID, nImageWidth, 0, crMask );

I've looked at CImageList::Create() and it calls ImageList_LoadBitmap()

How are you using the image ? Have you tried throwing the whole imagelist to the screen to see if it's 16 color ?

Well it is used in this particular case in a custom tree control that I've written. It does all of its own drawing, and doesn't use the MS Tree Control at all.

m_ItemImages->Draw( pDC, pNode->GetImage(), CPoint( x, y + ( ( GetRowHeight() - GetImageHeight() ) / 2 ) ), ILD_NORMAL );

draws a image from the list. If I look at the bitmap in Paintshop Pro or VC's Image editor I see everything ok. There is only one image which is actually > 16 colors. I did a screen shot grab to get this, and then replaced the pallete in the original imagelist bitmap (which was only 16 bits deep) with the pallete from the screen grab. I did all of this in Paintshop Pro.

I'm sorry it took me so long to reply - would you believe I was waiting for my daughter to get off the PC, and I feel asleep ? I slept from 6:30 pm to 10:30 pm. I've been sick this week....

Anyhow, I remembered having the same problem, and sure enough, if I added a 24 it mapage to my resources, and created a CImageList from it, I got a 16 color image. To get it to display in 24 bit, I needed to create the image list and the bitmap seperately, then pass in the bitmap, like this:

CImageList il;
il.Create(45, 40, ILC_COLORDDB|ILC_MASK, 8, 1);
CBitmap bm;
bm.LoadBitmap(IDB_BITMAP1);
il.Add(&bm, RGB(0,0,0));
il.Draw(pDC, 0, CPoint(0,0), ILD_NORMAL);

voila - 24 color image drawn to the screen from an image list.

Hi Christian,
I owe you one. Works a treat. I can't believe the MS Docs don't mention this issue, but then again yes I can.

Hope your feeling better. Nothing much worse than trying to cut code when you feel lousy.

Thanks again.
