IImageList interface (commoncontrols.h)

Exposes methods that manipulate and interact with image lists.

To use IImageList, specify Comctl32.dll version 6 in the manifest. If you do not do this, Comctl32.dll version 5 will be used by default, with which IImageList could display unpredictable behavior. For more information on manifests, see Enabling Visual Styles.
