Syntax
'Declaration
Public Overridable Function GetImageList As ImageList
'Usage
Dim instance As LanguageService
Dim returnValue As ImageList
returnValue = instance.GetImageList()
public virtual ImageList GetImageList()

abstract GetImageList : unit -> ImageList
override GetImageList : unit -> ImageList
public function GetImageList() : ImageList
Return Value
Type: System.Windows.Forms.ImageList
If successful, returns an ImageList object; otherwise, returns a null value.
Remarks
Glyphs are used as icons in the drop-down bars and in the IntelliSense completion lists.
The base method returns an image list obtained from the "Resources.completionset.bmp" image and assumes the transparent color is solid green (RGB(0x00,0xff,0x00)). Icons are assumed to be 16 x 16 pixels in size. See Language Service Overview (Managed Package Framework) for a list of the icons in the default set and how icons are accessed in a language service.
Examples
The following example shows how to provide an image list from a resource image called "resources.Images.bmp" with a magenta transparency.
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.IO;
using System.Reflection;
using Microsoft.VisualStudio.Package;
namespace MyLanguagePackage
{
[Guid("B614A40A-80D9-4fac-A6AD-FC2868FFF7CD")]
public class MyLanguageService : LanguageService
{
public override ImageList GetImageList()
{
Color background = Color.Magenta;
ImageList ilist = new ImageList();
ilist.ImageSize = new Size(16, 16);
ilist.TransparentColor = background;
Assembly a = typeof(MyLanguageService).Assembly
Stream stm = a.GetManifestResourceStream("Resources.Images.bmp");
ilist.Images.AddStrip(new Bitmap(stm));
return ilist;
}
}
}
