Changing an HICON's colour at runtime
-
Is there any way to change the colour of a HICON object at runtime without creating a new bitmap? Is there any way to get a pointer/reference to a HICON's colour palette info to modify? Essentially what I need is for the users of a program to be able to change the colours of individual item icons on a tree control at their will. When I die I'd like to go peacefully in my sleep like my father, not screaming in terror like his passengers!!!

typdef struct
{
BITMAPINFOHEADER icHeader; // DIB header
RGBQUAD icColors[1]; // Color table
BYTE icXOR[1]; // DIB bits for XOR mask
BYTE icAND[1]; // DIB bits for AND mask
} ICONIMAGE, *LPICONIMAGE;you can use it to modify the bitmap this[^] page gives more info.
C makes it easy to shoot yourself in the foot; C++ makes it harder, but when you do, it blows away your whole leg
