ImageList - my findings

[Mike McCormack]

Hi Vitaliy,

I'm also working on a corruption problem that occurs in Visio's 
toolbars. It seems that we don't draw transparent images properly 
sometimes. The case that appears to be screwing up is when the 
imagelist's default background colour is CLR_NONE, and an image is drawn 
with CLR_DEFAULT as the background.  The image gets random junk drawn 
where hbmMask is nonzero.

I think you're right about DIBSections... we should create and use them. 
  The programmer who originally implemented Imagelist probably didn't 
know about it...
