Structure of image directory

Image #1	Entry for the first image
Image #2	Entry for the second image
...
Image #n	Entry for the last image

typedef struct

    DWORD       dwBytesInRes;    // Specifies the size of the image's data in bytes.

Referenced image data
All image data referenced by entries in the image directory proceed directly after the image directory.It is customary practice to store them in the same order as defined in the image directory./*Store them order by define in ICONDIREENTRY*/

Recall that if an image is stored in BMP format, it must exclude the opening BITMAPFILEHEADER structure,whereas if it is stored in PNG format,it must be stored in its entirety./* BMP file must exclude BITMAPFILEHEADER, PNG file must clude entire*/

[notice]A PNG image can be stored in the image in the same way as done for a standard Windows BMP format image, with the exception that the PNG image must be stored in its entirety, with its file header.
