Multi Layered Icons

I was told to repost this here...

I have some nodes in a TreeView. There current state is represented by many different icons.

But now I need Multi and Sub States. For this I wish to use existing Icons and Layer them and then stick the result into the TreeView. This way I don't have to create hundreds of icons and will save my self a lot of other problems at the same time.

Actualy what I'm asking is a lot like the Short cut arrow windows adds to icons. That's simpler :)

Can any one suggest a method or a online doc that talks about this in VB terms?

Thanks,
