The CImageListBox class is derived from CListBox. I get inspiration from the CCheckListBox MFC class.

The Image List Box shows a list of images. It is not possible to display text.

To use the class just include the source and header file into your project. Add a List Box control to your dialog box resource.
The List Box added must have the following properties:
Owner draw = fixed; No integral height = False

With ClassWizard add a control member variable for the List Box. As variable type choose CImageListBox.

Then, in the OnInitDialog function of your dialog box create an ImageList and connect it to the ImageListBox, using SetImageList function.
Insert elements into the ImageListBox using AddItem function.

BOOL CTestDlg::OnInitDialog()
{
    CDialog::OnInitDialog();
    m_ImageList.Create(IDB_SEZIONIRICORRENTI, 40, 0, RGB(255, 255, 255));
    m_lstTest.SetImageList(&m_ImageList);
    for (int i=0; i<10; i++)
        m_lstTest.AddItem(i);

    return TRUE;
}
