Hi Dale.

I believe that what you are seeing is that the listbox is going back to its initial state when it regains focus. What I do in VFP 6.0 is put this code in the listbox's GotFocus:

ListBox::GotFocus()
This.RefreshList()
NODEFAULT

And I put code in my RefreshList method to re-specify the pictures.
