Listview image question.

[Paul Tomlinson]

All,

I have a listview and I want to add an image to each row (detail view) to
acompany the row text.
However I simply want the image to be a square block coloured in, in a
particular colour

For example I want the image of row 0 to be a red square, row 1 to be a blue
square , row 3 to be a green square etc etc.
WITHOUT using a red bitmap and a blue bitmap and a green bitmap in an
imagelist is there anyway to created these images dynamically - they are
after all just coloured squares.

Thanks

Paul,

You can easily do this. All you have to do is create a Bitmap instance,
get the device context (Graphics instance) using the static FromImage method
on the Graphics class, and paint it the color you want (three times).

Once you have those images, you can add them to your imagelist, and it
should work. Just make sure that when creating the bitmaps that it is the
right size and resolution (in terms of bits per pixel).

Hope this helps.
