Hi Terry,

I found 31 file on my computer starting with comctl. I see different versions dll in various places. One of them has version 6.0.2600.0.

I don't think I used ImageList or ListView in my applications. I think I used it once when I played with Frank Dietrich (?) library and prepared my form for selecting files (but at the end I didn't use ListView/ImageView, but rather grid with images using the aforementioned library).

Anyway, good luck!

Those controls had leaks - and if everything was not in balance or we made a small programming error - they were unforgiving - crashed the sytem and in some cases junked memory. They're very tedious little rascals.
