FIX: Tag Changed Incorrectly After Linking to Invalid ImageList

• Microsoft Visual Basic Standard, Professional, and Enterprise Editions, 32-bit only, for Windows, version 4.0

SYMPTOMS

Setting the Icons property of a ListView control to an invalid ImageList control will correctly result in error '35613 - Uninitialized ImageList'. However, if the Listview.Icons.Tag property is examined after this aborted attempt has been made, it will have been set to the tag of the ImageList control. It should be blank after an unsuccessful attempt to link to an ImageList control.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. This bug has been fixed in Visual Basic 6.0.

MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

1. Start Visual Basic 4.0. Form1 is created by default.



2. Add an ImageList control, a command button, and a ListView control to Form1.



3. Add this code to the form:

   
         Private Sub Command1_Click()
            On Error Resume Next
   
            ListView1.Icons = ImageList1
            MsgBox "Tag after linking to invalid imagelist: " & _
               ListView1.Icons.Tag
         End Sub
   
         Private Sub Form_Load()
            ImageList1.Tag = "ImageList1"
         End Sub 




4. Press F5 or select Start from the Run menu to run the application. Click the command button. The message box that is displayed will indicate that the tag for the ImageList linked to the ListView control is 'ImageList1'; it should be blank.
