LImageListControl::ExportBitmapList

#include "ltwrappr.h"

L_INT LImageListControl::ExportBitmapList(pExportList)

/* pointer to structure */

Exports a number of bitmaps from the ImageList Control to a Bitmap List.

Parameter	Description
pExportList	Pointer to the LILEXPORTBITMAPLIST structure that contains the list of bitmaps to be exported.

Returns

SUCCESS	The function was successful.
< 0	An error occurred. Refer to Return Codes.

Comments

You must set the uStructSize member of the LILEXPORTBITMAPLIST structure before using this function.

The list of bitmaps will be exported from the ImageList control into the passed hList starting from nStartIndex to (nStartIndex + nItemsToExport 1).

If you passed NULL into the hList member of the passed LILEXPORTBITMAPLIST structure, this parameter hList will be created internally and is going to contain all the exported bitmaps.

After exporting the list of bitmaps successfully from the ImageList control, dont try to free the bitmaps of the exported list hList, since it is going to have a reference to the original bitmaps--not a copy of them.
