BUG: TreeView fisplays node icons display after the images are removed from the ImageList (822480)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Visual Basic .NET (2003)
  • Microsoft Visual Basic .NET (2002)
  • Microsoft Visual C# .NET (2003)
  • Microsoft Visual C# .NET (2002)

SYMPTOMS

You may have a Windows Form with a TreeView control that is associated with an ImageList control. This permits the display of icons next to each node. The icons are positioned to the immediate left of the node text. When you remove the image from the ImageList control, you can see that the icons that are next to each node are not removed.

CAUSE

This problem occurs because the Form is not repainted after you remove the images from the ImageList. Therefore, images in the TreeView control still appear.

RESOLUTION

To resolve the problem, close the Form designer, reopen the Form, and then follow these steps:
  1. Close the Form designer.
  2. Click Yes to save to the form in Microsoft Development Environment.
  3. In Solution Explorer, right-click Form1.vb or Form1.cs, and then click Open. You see that the images are removed from the TreeView control.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a bug in the Microsoft products that are listed in the "Applies to" section.
