Icons in TreeView disappear in WinXP

Icons in TreeView disappear in WinXP

• Eligible

  Today, I remove the ImageList out of TreeView in designer and manually set the ImageList property of TreeView and found it still not work in WinXP.
  
  I embeded all icons as resources of my project, and load these resources in code, add them to a ImageList, and finally set this ImageList to TreeView. These icons appear in Win2003 normally, but in XP it just disappear.

  Please remove all images from your ImageList and then re-add them in Whidbey Beta2 and then compile your application. There are serialization differences between Beta1 and Beta2 so just a recompile won't solve this.

  I did this just now. But still not work. Do I have to re-add the bmp files on a WinXP machine (I just did this on a Win2003 machine)
  
  Thanks!

  Mark et. al.,

  I just posted a similar question in this forum, but I am using the shipping VSTO 2005, and the new VS, from my recent VS Pro 2005 purchase. I run XP Pro on a Toshiba duo-core.

  I wrote a trivial windows app in designer that puts up a form with one tree control and 2 baked-in nodes. They show my icons perfectly.

  Creating the same app, but as a VSTO Outlook Add-in, launching the form as the only code in the "app startup" function shows NO icons.

  The same .ico files from the same directory were loaded into a new imagelist the same way, in both cases.

  HELP! I really need these icons in my add in!

  Do you load the ImageList and associate the icons with the TreeView nodes in code or in the designer  
  
  If in the designer, have you tried reloading the ImageList and reassociating the icons
  
  If through code, are you loading using the icons in the load event (i.e., not in the constructor)

  BTW : these images are stored in a ImageList. This ImageList and TreeView are created in Whidbey Beta1. After we upgrade to Beta2, this problem occur.
  
  Thanks!

  If You have Application.EnableVisualStyles() in code remove it.
  It has helped me

  You shouldn't have to do that. Can you open a bug and include one of your images that is not working

  I load the ImageList in designer (in Whidbey Beta1) and have never modify it after that. Now I recompile the program in Whidbey Beta2 and the executable works fine in Win2003. However, if I put the same executable in WinXP, the icon will disappear.
  
  Should I reloading the ImageList and reassociating the icons Why the same executable behaves different in Win2003 and WinXP
  
  Thanks!
