LoadPicture() in VFP 6.0

[Ming Tam]

Dear all,

I have a form which is basically composed of Microsoft Listview
control 6.0 and ImageList control 6.0. I try to use LoadPicture function
to add pictures into the ImageList control, everything goes fine when I
run it in the VFP. However, after building the program into executable
file and then executing it, a error which is listed below occurs.

OLE error Code 0x800a01e1 : Unknown COM Status code

Originally, I suspect the error is caused by those ActiveX controls. So
I just make a blank form with following code in init event only.

Local Try

Try = LoadPicture("C:\try.bmp")

The Error Still Occur!!!!!!

So what's going on? Why the program is working properly in the VFP, but
error comes out after I building it into executable file? Any ideas?

Thank you for your kindly help. :>

Best wishes,
Ming

That's a problem that I found as well. I had to load the control manually

Thank you for your reponse, but would you please tell me how to load the
control manually? If it is possible, would you please give me some examples?

Best wishes,

I always load my bmp etc directly into the Image control using its property
pages and then link the image control to the listview at runtime and this
works fine. I have found that the Loadpicture does not work properly so I
have avoided it completely, just use the image control and link at runtime
that works fine.

when you use the loaadpicture and you compile you must also store the bmp
files on the user's machine if not you will get an error as the loadpicture
is looking for the dirorty where the bmp files are.

You would not get that problem if you load the files from the property page
of the image control.

i use a subclass of the listview / treeview control and execute the
following code in the init of the control. it works fine in a
stand-alone .EXE

oImgLst2 = CREATEOBJECT("MSComctlLib.ImageListCtrl.2")
WITH oImgLst2
.ImageHeight = 32
.ImageWidth = 32
.MaskColor = RGB(192,192,192)
.ListImages.Add(,"Prop",LOADPICTURE("ICONS\bclass.Ico"))
.ListImages.Add(,"Text",LOADPICTURE("ICONS\bText.Ico"))
ENDWITH

WITH THIS.Object
.Icons = oImglst2
ENDWITH

I get a OLE error code 0x80004005 unspecified error.
i guess the problem is with LOADPICTURE().kindly tell me the code how to load picture in to list view with out using LOADPICTURE as you suggested we can do that by manually.
