CommandButton no image after compilation

[Mex]

When i set hImageList then in debug mode button icon is shown correctly, but after compilation image is not visible.

Hi,

the hImageList property requires comctl32.dll 6.0, so make sure you provide a manifest file for your binary and that you're running the program on Windows XP or newer. Also have a look at the "Events" sample.

Still have problems with button image under Windows 7. Button image is not displayed.
Is't possible that, comctl32.dll on Windows 7 is lower as ver. 6 or there are somehow two different versions?

The button is themed, so it definitly uses comctl32.dll 6. Does it work on Vista? Are the button images in the "Events" sample displayed?

In Events sample all is working fine, also is image displayer correctly with Vista.

Okay, so how do you attach the image list to the button? And how do you create and fill the image list?

If you save the button's properties to a file (it can be done via the property pages) and post this file here, I can also tell you whether the problem is caused by a specific setting.

I think this problem is related to VB's Common Controls. I installed on Windows 7 http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/deta ... laylang=en
and now it works fine.

Im setting hImageList property in Form_Load event - btnPrintTicket.hImageList = theImageList.hImageList

Ah, so you use the ImageList control from the VB Common Controls? I always use API-generated image lists, because the VB control can't handle 32 bit icons.

Ok, now im smarter, in the future i use ImageList_Create API, even when i use 24 bit icons
