Screen painting problem

[Bryan Dickerson]

I have an MDI form that I just added an icon to an existing imagelist and a
corresponding button on a toolbar. I also changed the color depth from
8color to 16color and now the images on the buttons don't show up when I run
the program. What gives?

TIA!

Hi,

Two suggestions.
1) In the windows form designer generated code make sure the imagelist is
created before the toolbar.
2) http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;327154

That's it! In the "Windows Form Designer" code block, the toolbar is being
created well before the imagelist. MS says it's a bug. So would it change
anything if I deleted the toolbar and/or the imagelist and recreated
it--i.e. is there an order to the code in the WFD block?
