Before you begin:

The bitmap images for the classes installed on the machine are stored in some system area. These images are more of a general kind and illustrate functionality groups rather than individual classes.

With a few API calls VFP application can access these images and display them in TreeView and ListView controls as icons.

As the picture above shows, the list is definitely OS and machine configuration specific.

My comment:

For me the most interesting part in this code is not the getting access to the image list but the way the bitmaps from it are made icons in the TreeView control.
