SYMPTOMS
========

An Invalid Page Fault is encountered when dynamically loading and populating
ListView controls within a control array.

RESOLUTION
==========

This problem can be solved in one of three ways:

- Install Visual Studio Service Pack 4.
- Dynamically load all ListView controls before adding ListItems collections to
  any of them.
- Pre-load the ListView controls at design time instead of creating them
  dynamically.

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a bug in the Microsoft products that are
listed at the beginning of this article. This bug was corrected in the latest
service pack for Visual Studio 6.0.

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

This behavior occurs under the Microsoft Windows 95, Microsoft Windows 98 and
Microsoft Windows Me operating systems but does not occur under Microsoft
Windows NT or Microsoft Windows 2000.

By using a DoEvents command during the process of dynamically loading the
controls, you may prevent the error from occurring immediately. However, the
error still occurs when you terminate the application.

In addition, this problem does not occur if all ListView controls are loaded
before items are added to them or if the ListView controls are all loaded at
design time.

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

1. Create a new Standard EXE project. Form1 is created by default.

2. On the Project menu, select Components, check Microsoft Windows Common
  Controls 6.0, and then click OK.

3. Add a ListView control to Form1.

4. Set the Index property of the ListView control to 0.

5. Paste the following code into Form1's code window:

  Option Explicit

  Private Sub Form_Load()
     Dim i As Integer
     Dim j As Integer
     Dim objListItem As ListItem

     ' Set view to report
     ListView1(0).View = lvwReport
     
     ' Add some columns to listview
     ListView1(0).ColumnHeaders.Add , "col1", "col1"
     ListView1(0).ColumnHeaders.Add , "col2", "col2"
     ListView1(0).ColumnHeaders.Add , "col3", "col3"

     ' Load and populate total of 6 ListView controls
     For i = 0 To 5
        If i > 0 Then
           ' Create a new ListView control
           Load ListView1(i)
           
           ' Position and show the new control
           ListView1(i).Left = ListView1(i - 1).Left + 250
           ListView1(i).Top = ListView1(i - 1).Top + 250
           ListView1(i).Visible = True
        End If
          
        ' Add 10 data items to the listview just created
        For j = 1 To 10
           Set objListItem = ListView1(i).ListItems.Add(, , "data1-" & j)
           objListItem.SubItems(1) = "data2-" & j
           objListItem.SubItems(2) = "data3-" & j
           
           ' Set the tag property of the new ListItem
           objListItem.Tag = j
        Next j
     Next i
  End Sub

6. Run the program.

RESULT: An Invalid Page Fault occurs.
