Step 1) Do a little research. Google is a good start point
Step 2) Start coding
Step 3) Compile and use the debug to solve little issues
Step 4) When you get a problem you don't know how to solve but at least you tried it, then come back and ask for something concrete with a snippet of the code giving problems

Sorry if this is not the answer you were looking for. But your question is a bit too wide to be answered at the "Quick" Answers. It is better and you get faster help if you make 10 concrete questions about concrete problems, than a big question about a "how-to guide"

Thanks for the answer.
I'll try to describe in detail the problem.

ATL Control gives you handle its own window(HWND). This hanlde allows to draw inside the window and create unique container(for example, a round button). And the container is visible in the form.
I don't need to draw inside that window and i don't need to make container visible in the form.
In fact, container doing his job "behind the scenes".
ImageList(C#) was chosen as an example.

-->Step 1) Do a little research. Google is a good start point
Can't find anything concrete. Maybe writing is not the right questions. Actually, decided to write here.

-->Step 2) Start coding
Is not difficult to create container(ATL Control) which can be visible in the form.

-->Step 3) Compile and use the debug to solve little issues
Last two days do only that.

Thanks for credit ;P I was too lazy to actually search for it

The question wizard should explicitly ask for "I have searched on google" before allowing saking a question. ;-)

Yeah, we should ask google to give the user a cookie that CP would use before activating the "post question" widget :P
