ImageList

An ImageList that contains the icons to use when the View property is set to LargeIcon. The default is null.

Examples

The following code example creates a ListView control with three ListViewItem objects specified and three ListViewItem.ListViewSubItem objects specified for each item. The example also creates ColumnHeader objects to display the subitems in details view. Two ImageList objects are also created in the code example to provide images for the ListViewItem objects. These ImageList objects are added to the LargeImageList and SmallImageList properties. The example uses the following properties in creating the ListView control.

This example requires that you have added the code to a Form and call the method created in the example from the constructor or another method on the form. The example also requires that images named MySmallImage1, MySmallImage2, MyLargeImage1, and MyLargeImage2 are located in the root directory of drive C.

Remarks

The LargeImageList property allows you to specify an ImageList object that contains icons to use when displaying items with large icons (when the View property is set to LargeIcon). The ListView control can accept any graphics format that the ImageList control supports when displaying icons. The ListView control is not limited to .ico files. Once an ImageList is assigned to the LargeImageList property, you can set the ImageIndex property of each ListViewItem in the ListView control to the index position of the appropriate image in the ImageList. The size of the icons for the LargeImageList is specified by the ImageSize.

Because only one index can be specified for the ListViewItem.ImageIndex property, the ImageList objects specified in the LargeImageList and SmallImageList properties should have the same index positions for the images to display. For example, if the ImageIndex property of a ListViewItem is set to 0, the images to use for both small and large icons should be at the same index position in the ImageList objects specified in the LargeImageList and SmallImageList properties.

Note

When the images are specified with keys, you still need to place small and large versions of the image at the same index location in their respective image lists. When switching between views, the index location of the image in one list is used to locate the image in the other list, regardless of the key value specified.

To set the ImageList to use when displaying items with small icons (all view modes other than LargeIcon), use the SmallImageList property. If you want to use images to display item state, use the StateImageList property.
