Tree/ListView images - are they only from ImageLists?

I've got a base image for an item and some common adornments. The adornments
reflect the state of the item being shown in the list. Stuff like padlock
for locked, cogs for in-use and the like. I've got the code that dynamically
generates an appropriate image based on the state.

The problem is how do I make the Tree/ListView item use it? These seem only
to have ImageIndex properties? I've already got 4 images lists offering
small and large sizes for 256 colour and XP images - seems rather onerous!

Any advice gratefully received!

It seems that you will have to store all the images in one imagelist and
set the 'ImageIndex' according to the item's state.
 
Indeed that's the conclusion I had :( I realise that there's a resource
saving when using an ImageList object but it would have been good to
override an image for a particular entry!
