Hi,

I've got a little nice problem, hope someone can help..

Ive got a toolbar, with buttons on it and image's (icon's) in it.

But when i use the "EnableVisualStyles" function, the images are gone and I only see a "naked" button..

Does someone know why this is happening?
Thanks in Advance
 
The dodos at MS have made several glaring oversights in visual style support in VS.NET, including the fact that the NumericUpDown class does not support visual styles at all, which is annoying, and a lack of image support on buttons. This lack of image support does not, however, extend to toolbar buttons. There is mention in the VS.NET help, in the article entitled "Applying Windows XP Visual Styles to Windows Forms Applications" that "if one of the controls on your form is an ImageList control, be sure to include the following line of code before calling Application.Run()".

Application.DoEvents()

This should solve your problem.

By the way, I found a button component that supports images with visual styles at www.wiseworx.com for anyone who is interested.
