SetOverlayPicture

PowerScript function

Description

Puts an image in the control’s image list into an overlay image
list.

Applies to

ListView and TreeView controls

Syntax

Argument

Description

controlname

The name of the ListView or TreeView control to which you
want to add an overlay image.

overlayindex

The index number of the overlay picture in the overlay
image list. The overlay image list is a 1-based array.
Overlayindex must be 1 (for the first image), a previously
designated index (replacing an image), or 1 greater than the
current largest index (adding another image). SetOverlayPicture
fails if you specify an index that creates gaps in the
array.

imageindex

The index number of an image in the control’s main image
list. For ListViews, both the large and small pictures at that
index become overlay images. The image is still available for
use as an item’s main image.

Return value

Integer.

Returns 1 if it succeeds and -1 if an error occurs.

Usage

An overlay picture must have the same height and width as the
picture it is used to overlay. The color specified in the SetPictureMask
property when the picture is inserted becomes transparent when the picture
is used as an overlay, allowing part of the original image to be visible
beneath the overlay.

The overlay list acts as a pointer back to the source image in the
regular picture lists. If you delete an image that is also used in the
overlay list, the displayed overlay pictures are affected too.

Examples

This example designates overlay images in a ListView control. The
same picture is used for large and small images:

This example designates the first picture in the TreeView’s main
image list as the first overlay picture. The picture was added to the main
image list on the TreeView’s property sheet:

This code in the TreeView’s Clicked event assigns the overlay image
to the clicked item:
