Initialize imagelist?

Have images stored in an imagelist that I want to place in a treeview
control.
Keep getting the message "Image list must be initialized"

Can anyone direct me to a code sample of this?
Can't seem to find anything. I have already added the images that I want
thru the "custom properties" property window.

Right now, what I have is :

With tvwMain
Set .ImageList = Me.ilstMain '(also tried Me.ilstMain.ListImages)
tn = .Add(,, strDefPath, strDefFolNm, 1, 2)
End With

This causes an error: "Type Mismatch"
If I remove the "Set", it will make it thru the ".ImageList =" line, but
when I reach the ".Add" line I get the error : "ImageList must be
initialized"

I am using Microsoft ImageList Control 6.0 (SP4) and have a Reference to
Microsoft Windows Common Controls 6.0 (SP4), and am not using Option
Explicit.

Is there some sort of issue with SW and this image list? I've been going
nuts with this, and can't get it to work no matter what I try.

Thanks for any help.

Hello Sean,

In my code I do the following to initialize the imagelist:

With myForm.myImageList.ListImages
.Add Picture:=LoadResPicture("xxx", vbResBitmap), Key:= "foo"
.Add Picture:=LoadResPicture("yyy", vbResBitmap), Key:= "bar"
'Add further images from the resource
End With

Finally I assign the imagelist to the treeview:

With myForm.myTreeView
Set .ImageList = myForm.myImageList
'define other settings
...
End With

Hope this helps!

I'm obviously missing some references, as "LoadResPicture", and
"vbResBitmap" don't show up in intellisence or help, and give me an
"unrecognised sub or function error". I've tried different references
looking for the correct one until my face turned purple.

Can anyone tell me which (If any ) references I'm missing?

You are indeed missing something... LoadResPicture is member of VB6 and
vbResBitmap is a member of VisualBasic Runtime, but at least I don't know
how (and why) one should _remove_ tehese from their references. You should
have "Visual basic runtime objects" and "Visual basic objects and
procedures" checked, but I think you should not be able to uncheck them from
your references. Are you using Visual Basic 6?

Now I see, you are writing a SW macro, aren't you? There is no sense in
using resource functions in a macro. My code was just an example, I used the
functions to initialize the imagelist but but they are not required for the
code to work.

Thanks for the help. - Still driving me nuts with "Type Mismatch " and
Object errors. Never had a headache like this with any other control before.
I'll get it figured out though (I Hope!)

Thanks for the help, again.

Ha - Got it figured out - I'm only half as dumb as I was starting to think!

Had to code in an API call to "mscomctl.ocx". SW must not have the licenses
to these controls?

Drove me nuts - the objects were all there for me, just that nothing worked
the way it was supposed to!

Thanks for the help
