Yes, you can make all what you want using Windows (not ActiveX) ImageList control. This piece of C++ code may be helpful:

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
//	HIMAGELIST hIL = ImageList_Create(32, 32, ILC_COLOR8, 0, 1);
	HIMAGELIST hIL = ImageList_LoadImage(NULL, "strip.bmp", 32, 0, 0, IMAGE_BITMAP, LR_LOADFROMFILE);

	HICON hIcon = (HICON)LoadImage(NULL, "30.ico", IMAGE_ICON, 32, 32, LR_LOADFROMFILE);
	ImageList_AddIcon(hIL, hIcon);
	DeleteObject(hIcon);

	hIcon = (HICON)LoadImage(NULL, "31.ico", IMAGE_ICON, 32, 32, LR_LOADFROMFILE);
	ImageList_AddIcon(hIL, hIcon);
	DeleteObject(hIcon);

	IMAGEINFO ImageInfo;
	ImageList_GetImageInfo(hIL, 0, &ImageInfo);

	PICTDESC PictDesc;
	PictDesc.cbSizeofstruct = sizeof(PICTDESC);
	PictDesc.picType = PICTYPE_BITMAP;
	PictDesc.bmp.hbitmap = ImageInfo.hbmImage;
	PictDesc.bmp.hpal = NULL;
	IPicture* iPic;
	OleCreatePictureIndirect(&PictDesc, IID_IDispatch, FALSE, (LPVOID*) &iPic);

	BSTR bstrFile = SysAllocString(L"result.bmp");
	OleSavePictureFile((IDispatch*)iPic, bstrFile);
	SysFreeString(bstrFile);
	iPic->Release();

	return 0;
}
