• Visual Basic ToolBar and ImageList

  I am new to Visual Basic. So the differences between C++ and VB are striking to me. But even this seems like too much. Here is what I am talking about: I got a project out of source safe and I started working with it.

According to the book I have, once the image is set, you cannot cha ...Show All
