Kornél, keep in mind that this is a "managed" Windows implementation of
System.Windows.Forms. We are trying to share as maximum as possible
between platforms.

I think that is better if you come up with a way where adding little
code to the already existing managed implementation you can archive what
you need specifically for Win32. Re-implementing ImageList and having
separate implementations I do not think is an option and will break our
current design.

Can you please explain a bit more that you need, which members and
behaviour of ImageList will affect? 

Thanks Kornél,

Jordi,
