Does anyone know if there is a reason to prefer bitmaps over icons (or
vice-versa) when populating image lists? I've always favored icons because
of their built-in transparency (although I've never use the invert "color").
But I've noticed that Microsoft seems to favor bitmaps in many of their
sample applications. Is there a reason? For instance, do icons clutter the
icon cache or require more system resources whereas bitmaps do not?
Just curious,
