Hi!

>1. how do i assign picture from imagelist into picture object

SavePicture function issued for the reference to the picture from ImageList. Save it into the temporary file, than assign that file to the Picture property of the control.

BTW, I already added the wish to wishes list - it is about use of picture objects in VFP controls (alternative to the Picture property that accepts only filepath) as well as some other enhancement related to the pictures.

>2. why the color of icons stored in imagelist change (become gray color)

Image List store images of the same format. So when you added first icon with gray color, other (colored) icons added there could become gray too. All images should have the same format and size,a s far as I know, though I could be wrong - did not used ImageList control much.

HTH.
