Drawing Question

[Jared Miniman [MVP]]

Let's say my form has an ImageList, and I wish at runtime, to dynamically
create some drawing objects (for simplicity sake a filled rectangle) and
fill up my ImageList with those objects. Is this feasible? Could someone
point me to some sample code to illustrate this?

It is possible. Create a new Bitmap object. Create a Graphics object on it
using Graphics.FromImage. Draw whatever you want on this bitmap. Destroy
Graphics object. Set the bitmap as one of the ImageList images

This is off my mind, so it might be wrong:

using System.Drawing;

Bitmap bmp = new Bitmap(64,64);
Graphics g = Graphics.FromImage(bmp);
g.FillRectangle(new SolidBrush(Color.FromArgb(0xFF0000)),0,0,64,64);
imageList1.Images.Add(bmp);
g.Dispose();

And that should do it

Hope this helps,

Yup--that's exactly right. Thanks, Javier.
