cx

[in] The width, in pixels, of each image.

cy

[in] The height, in pixels, of each image.

flags

[in] A set of bit flags that specify the type of image list to create. This parameter can be a combination of the following values, but it can include only one of the ILC_COLOR values.

ILC_COLOR

Use the default behavior if none of the other ILC_COLOR* flags is specified. Typically, the default is ILC_COLOR4, but for older display drivers, the default is ILC_COLORDDB.

ILC_COLOR4

Use a 4-bit (16-color) device-independent bitmap (DIB) section as the bitmap for the image list.

ILC_COLOR8

Use an 8-bit DIB section. The colors used for the color table are the same colors as the halftone palette.

ILC_COLOR16

Use a 16-bit (32/64k-color) DIB section.

ILC_COLOR24

Use a 24-bit DIB section.

ILC_COLOR32

Use a 32-bit DIB section.

ILC_COLORDDB

Use a device-dependent bitmap.

ILC_MASK

Use a mask. The image list contains two bitmaps, one of which is a monochrome bitmap used as a mask. If this value is not included, the image list contains only one bitmap.

ILC_MIRROR

Version 6.00. Microsoft Windows can be mirrored to display languages such as Hebrew or Arabic that read right-to-left. If the image list is created on a mirrored version of Windows, then the images in the lists are mirrored, that is, they are flipped so they display from right to left. Use this flag on a mirrored version of Windows to instruct the image list not to automatically mirror images.

ILC_PERITEMMIRROR

Version 6.00. Specify this flag if ILC_MIRROR is used on an image list that contains a strip of images. ILC_MIRROR must be specified for this flag to have any effect.

cInitial

[in] The number of images that the image list initially contains.

cGrow

[in] The number of images by which the image list can grow when the system needs to make room for new images. This parameter represents the number of new images that the resized image list can contain.
