ImageList must be initialized

[What-a-Tool]

Have images stored in an imagelist that I want to place in a treeview
control.
Keep getting the message "Image list must be initialized"

Can anyone direct me to a code sample of this?
Can't seem to find anything. I have already added the images that I want
thru the "custom properties" property window.

Thanks

the error message means you need to bind..
it's simple...

Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
Set Me.TreeView1.ImageList = Me.ImageList1
End Sub

then in your tv s'thin like

TreeView1.Nodes.Item(Index).Image = 2

If you cant solve THAT ..
it may be best to forget using a treeview.,
as I seriously doubt you're going to be able to fill it,
and write proper handling code for the results.


I assumed:
you have a userform..
uf has 1 treeview
uf has 1 imagelist

iml has 2 images (16X16 256 bitmaps or icons)



Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
With Me.TreeView1
.ImageList = Me.ImageList1
.Nodes.Add , , "key1", "text1", 1
.Nodes.Add , , "key2", "text2", 2
End With
End Sub

Yeah - I have a form, I have a treview on it, I have an image list on it ,
and I've got the names straight.
I have my tree view working just fine, thank you. This friggin image list is
drivin me nuts, though.

With Me.tvwMain
Set .ImageList = ilstMain
Set tn = .Nodes.Add(, , strSWDefaultFolder, strFolder, 1, 2)
End With

If I put the Me identifier in front of ilstMain, I get an Invalid Object
error.
If I test as is, I get an "imagelist must be initialized" error

you're using

option EXPLICIT ?

you have a Microsoft ImageList Control 6.0 (SP6)
on the form?

you have a Reference to :
Microsoft Windows Common Controls 6.0 (SP6)
(c:\windows\system32\mscomctl.ocx)

(service pack should not be a problem..)


if it's on the form then

typing me.

should popup the controls on the form..
the ilstMain MUST be there!



you've put some icons in the imagelist?
via properties..custom you;ll get the property bag.
Tab 1 must indicate 16x16!
Tab 2 you must add the icons or bitmaps.
16x16 pixels 256 color (or 24 bit)

Ha - Got it figured out - I'm only half as dumb as I was starting to think!

Sorry- I failed to mention that this was a cross post - I wasn't coding this
in Excel. I was thinking of this as a purly VBA question, and there is a lot
of VBA know-how in this group, and the SolidWorks group couldn't help me, so
I thought I might find help here. Just wasn't giving you all the required
info, I suppose.

Had to code in an API call to "mscomctl.ocx".

Drove me nuts - the objects were all there for me, just that nothing worked
the way it was supposed to!

Thanks for the help, and sorry about the cross post

Set Me.TreeView1.ImageList = Me.ImageList1 :gives an error "Invalid object"


Hi everyone,

To bind an image view to the treeview, you must initialize the treeview.imagelist like you said: > Set Me.TreeView1.ImageList = Me.ImageList1.
But, be sure that the ImageList1 object is the same type of object as TreeView1.Imagelist.
Because yes, there are several types of ImageList objects, as well as TreeView objects.
Actually, they differ by their CLSID.
So, each treeview (with a certain clsid), has a corresponding imagelist (with a certain clsid too)
here are some examples i have noticed.
Treeview clsid (C74190B6-8589-11D1-B16A-00C0F0283628) corresponds to imagelist clsid (2C247F23-8591-11D1-B16A-00C0F0283628)
.....
Treeview clsid (0713E8A2-850A-101B-AFC0-4210102A8DA7) corresponds to imagelist clsid (58DA8D8F-9D6A-101B-AFC0-4210102A8DA7)

Here, we can notice some similarities in the corresponding objects clsids.

Hope this will help.
