treeview

[frazer]

hi i have a set of bitmaps in an array.
and i want to add it to a imagelist so that i can show those images in my
treeview.
imageList2.Images.Add (Image.FromHbitmap (picture.Bitmap)); //cant use this
gives me an error

do i need to convert from bitmap to a memory stream?

thanx

The following is an exact example which works:

Image i = (Image)Bitmap.FromFile(@"C:\WINDOWS\blue lace 16.bmp");
ImageList il = new ImageList();

il.Images.Add(i);

TreeView tv = new TreeView();

tv.ImageList = il;
tv.Nodes.Add("root");
tv.Nodes[0].ImageIndex = 0; //set the image to the first item

this.Controls.Add(tv);

Cheers,
Branimir

There is ImageList.ImageSize property that should correspond with
size of images. If it isn't then images will be resized (with
possible loss of quality).
imageList2.Images.Add (Image.FromHbitmap (picture.Bitmap)); //cant use this
gives me an error
I believe that your picture.Bitmap does not returns IntPtr.
ImageList.ImageCollection.Add method takes "Image" or "Icon" parameter.

try this:

Bitmap[] bmpArray; // your array of bitmaps

// ... bmpArray fill

for(int i=0; i<bmpArray.Length; i++) {
imageList2.Images.Add(bmpArray[i]);
}

If my sample will not do what you want or throws exception
then send feedback with possible StackTrace.

Hi,

I think your approach is a little bit overcomplicated. The Add method
accepts a System.Drawing.Image, and System.Drawing.Bitmap is inherited from
System.Drawing.Image. So it should be sufficient to use the following code
(given the Bitmap property returns an instance of System.Drawing.Bitmap):

imageList2.Images.Add (picture.Bitmap);
