How to put background image into CListCtrl.

[Artem Moroz]

I've tried to put background image into CListCtrl, but i completely ran out of ideas how to do this!!! I cannot use owner drawn control because I need big icons. I cannot use CListCtrl::SetBkImage() because it cannot stretch bitmap; Maybe this is done somehow by using custom draw, but I failed. Can somebody give me link to working sample with background image? Give me any suggestions!

when you OnSize, dynamically resize the bitmap to the client area rect, then CListCtrl::SetBkImage(), there are good chapters on bitmap manipulation in Charles Petzold's programming windows 95 and Programming windows with MFC by j. procise
