Creating a ToolbarHello. Using VB6. I have added the Toolbar Control and the ImageList
Controls to my form. Then using the ImageList Properties and the Images tab at the top I inserted 7 pictures and the image count showed 7 items.Then I use the Custom Property of the Toolbar Object (General Tab)and tell the Toolbar Control where to find the images for the buttons that I am about to add. I then select the Buttons Tab at the top and click on Insert Button. The Index goes from grayed out to the number 1 BUT the Image value just to the right of the "Tool Tip Text" is still grayed out and I am unable to associate an image in the ImageList control with this button. I must have done something wrong because it should all me to type in the appropriate image index value here which will associate one of the images with this button. Help please. TIA, Jim.

A Toolbar has ImageList, DisabledImageList, and HotImageList properties (the VB5 version only has ImageList) for binding an ImageList control. You must set the ImageList property to assign an image at design-time. You may have set one of the other two. Exactly what Toolbar control are you using? The one from Windows Common Controls or is it a 3rd-party control? Oh. Wait. I know what you mean now. You're talking about "(Custom)" in the Properties window, right? That's not a property. It's just a way to show the Property Page for a control. -- Mike Microsoft MVP Visual Basic Mike, I' using the one from Windows Common Controls. I clicked on
Project->Components->and then checked "Microsoft Windows Common Controls 6.0 (SP3). Does this info help? Jim.

Because there are three image lists you can set but I believe Image List is mandatory. |
