256x256 icons trouble again, or how to get TRUE icon size through IImageList

I get the System image list by calling SHGetImageList:

SHGetImageList(SHIL_LAST, IID_IImageList, (void**)&imList);

I have a list of 256x256 images, but size of small icons which have not 256 version, have size 256 too. I need to get each icon with it's true size. How can i find out its size?

I'm get the size of an icon by using the method:

IImageList::GetIconSize

Ok. Now I know about IImageList::GetIconSize getting all icon's size equals 256x256. Then another question, how to know real image size?

p.s. Sorry for my english.

An image list can only hold images of the same size. If you have a 256x256 image list, it will always return 256x256 images. To retreive images in other sizes, you need to access the other sized image lists that the Shell provides.
