Toolbar buttons dont' show

[Keith Patrick]

I just wrote a quick Windows app with some toolbar buttons. In design view,
the buttons show up fine, but when I run the app, the toolbar button images
don't show up. Is there some simple setting that I am missing? I've tried
using both .GIF and .BMP format, and both show up fine in the designer
(although the GIF is the only one that has transparency working normally).

Heh...musta had a bit too much to drink tonight Just saw a nearly
identical post a few messages down. The explanation, though, (Windows not
supporting themed buttons with images) screams "LAAAAME" anyway, though.

Are you using EnableVisualStyles? If so use Application.DoEvents immediately
after it.

That did the trick. Thanks! I was worried I was going to have to do manual
painting. MUCH easier.

Hello,

Heh...musta had a bit too much to drink tonight Just saw
a nearly identical post a few messages down. The explanation,
though, (Windows not supporting themed buttons with images)
screams "LAAAAME" anyway, though.

Themed toolbar buttons _are_ supported by Windows XP.
