.NET Forum / Windows Forms / WinForm General / April 2005Toolbar icons
I have a toolbar on a windows tab control tab page which is on a form. I have added three buttons with icons via an image list. The icons display correctly in the VS and the first time I compile from the runtime. But when I compile again they vanish from the runtime but still appear correctly in the VS. I have another form where they display correctly but the toolbar is on the form itself, not sure if this is the problem. Any suggestion on how to get the toolbar icons to display correctly?

[quoted text clipped - 10 lines] >> Regards, >> John This generally happens with a call to Application.EnableVisualStyles. Follow the call with a call to Application.DoEvents and make sure that these calls are made in Sub Main(). An alternative solution is to add a Manifest resource to the App instead of calling EnableVisualStyles. If your Icons have an Alpha Channel then you may find that they display incorrectly. In this case load the imagelist at runtime.

I have noted that if I place the tool bar on the tab instead of the tab page it seem to work correctly. Regards, John. Free MagazinesGet these publications absolutely FREE for up to 12 months.
