The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Visual Basic Learning Edition for Windows, version 6.0 
- Microsoft Visual Basic Professional Edition for Windows, version 6.0 
- Microsoft Visual Basic Enterprise Edition for Windows, version 6.0 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

A Visual Basic project contains an ImageList control associated with a Toolbar
control. The ImageList control contains at least four 16x16 images that appear
on buttons on the Toolbar control. You run the project and double-click the
Toolbar control to display the Customize Toolbar dialog box. When you change the
position of a Toolbar button using the Move Up or Move Down button twice, the
button image is replicated on a previous position.

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the
beginning of this article.

This bug was corrected in Visual Studio 6.0 Service Pack 3.

For more information about Visual Studio 6.0 Service Packs, please see the
following articles in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

MORE INFORMATION
================

This section shows you how to create a Visual Basic project that demonstrates
the bug behavior. The section assumes you are familiar with adding a reference
to a project and using the Toolbar and ImageList controls.

Steps to Reproduce
------------------

1. Start a new Standard EXE project in Visual Basic. Form1 is created by
  default.

2. Add a reference to the Microsoft Common Control 6.0 component to the project.
  For more information about adding ActiveX controls to your project, see the
  REFERENCES section of this article.

3. Add a ToolBar and an ImageList to Form1.

4. Add four 16x16 bitmap files to the ImageList control. The
  \COMMON\GRAPHICS\BITMAPS\ASSORTED directory of your Visual Basic product disc
  contains several 1K bitmap files.

5. Copy the following code to the Code window of Form1:

  Option Explicit

  Private Sub Form_Load()
     Set Toolbar1.ImageList = ImageList1
     With Toolbar1.Buttons
        .Add , , , , 1
        .Add , , , , 2
        .Add , , , , 3
        .Add , , , , 4
     End With
  End Sub
      

6. On the Run menu, select Start, or press the F5 key to start the program and
  do the following:

  a. In Form1, double-click the Toolbar control. The Customize Toolbar dialog
     box appears.

  b. In the Toolbar buttons list box, select the first button.

  c. Click the Move Down button twice to change the position of the first
     button.

  BUG: The image on the first button is replicated on the second button. The
  expected behavior is that the image of the second button remains the same.
