CTreeCtrl icons.

[WilliamGS]

Hello. When we share a folder with Explorer, it puts a "hand" on the folder icon; how can I do this?, I mean, how can I put a small icon over the normal icon in a CTreeCtrl?

I am using VC++ 6.00

Thanks in advance.

It is based on the "icon overley" technique. It's a shell thingie.

That's different story. You'd have to "manually" merge the two icons where you BitBlt the one over the other (creating a 3rd icon/bitmap), masking out the "transparent" parts of the small hand (or whatever) icon.

For input on to mask and deal with transparency see
