The image for an item can be set when an item is first


added to the list view control.

m_listctrl.InsertItem( LVIF_TEXT | LVIF_IMAGE, nRow, sItemText, 0, 0, nImage, NULL);

The image can later be changed by calling the SetItem() function. The CListCtrl
class does not have a SetImage() function.

m_listctrl.SetItem( 0, 0, LVIF_IMAGE, NULL, nImage, 0, 0, 0 );

To remove the image, use a value of -1 for nImage, else nImage should be
a zero based index of the image in the image list.
