Hello Jasper,

In the example attachment I sent earlier (drvfold.jpg) there are 9 images
each of the 9 images are 16x16 pixels (height, width)

If we only had to code one line to bring in this one file
we are at an advantage already. 

To seperate the images we have several options. 

First, MS has made it easy for us to use these by utilizing ImageList 

hImageList = c_func(xImageList_Create,{16,16,ILC_COLOR16,2,10})
  
hBitmap = LoadImage("drvfold.bmp", IMAGE_BITMAP) 
junk = c_func(xImageList_Add,{hImageList,hBitmap,NULL})
c_proc(xDeleteObject, {hBitmap})

Note: I utilized a bitmap in the code.

TreeView and ListView use Imagelist as a standard in most apps. 

The second ofcourse would be to create your own methods.
Im pretty sure someone already has an example on the Eu-contrib page.

All-in-all, the advantages would be less code, typeing, app size,
number of files to carry around and several others Im sure that
dont come to mind right off....

Hope this helps!
