The method CreateDragImage is used during drag’n drop to create a drag image. The problem is that it only works for a CTreeCtrl with images. The following method, CreateDragImageEx, checks whether the CTreeCtrl has a valid normal CImageList. If so, it just calls the standard CreateDragImage method and returns.
If, on the other hand, no valid CImageList is found, a bitmap is created based on the size of item rect, and the item text is drawn into it. Then a CImageList is created and the bitmap is added to it.
