Re: owner-draw list control

hi there

i have a couple of questions regarding owner-draw list controls
(CListCtrl-derived)

first of all, this is what i want to do - i want to display graphic
images to a user using a list control in LARGE ICON mode, showing
images which have been loaded off disk (stored as JPG)

i have the library to read the image files (CxImage - very good!) - but
now i want to leverage the functionality of a list control to show the
user these images

i also want the user to be able to change the viewing size of the
images

i'm thinking i have two options:

option 1:

owner-draw list control, and i draw the image directly to the list DC
using the CxImage library

option 2:

dynamically create icons from the image data (which i can get as DIB
data blobs), and then add them to an image list which i attach to the
list control, and then i don;t have to do any kind of drawing myself

questions:

1. can i do an owner-draw list control when it is in LARGE ICON mode? i
read somewhere that you can only owner-draw in report mode, but maybe
this is incorrect....

2. with owner-draw list controls, can i dynamically set the item height
at runtime after the control is first created? or does this message
only get set once?

3. if i go with Option 2 - wil the list control respond appropriately
if i change the imagelist for LARGE ICON mode to a list with
bigger/smaller icons?

thanks for any help you can give me
my deadline is LOOMING!!! (know that feeling??)
