Jean-René,

Don't know about VFP 5 problem you describe, but I can tell you that you will *not* solve this problem to your satisfaction in VFP 3.0!

There was a KnowledgeBase article (don't have the ref. right now) regarding the 60 items "limit" of VFP 3. It was said to be fixed in VFP 5.0, but that is no help to your VFP 3. problem.

Good luck,
Jim N

>I modify the picture property in the Init event of the form since a parameter passed to the form can affect the bitmaps displayed in the list. In some cases, no bitmaps are displayed in the list. In the click event of the list box, I change the bitmap displayed.
>I encounter problems when the list contains more than 60 items. Some items of the list lose their picture values.

>When I use in Foxpro 5.0 the form created in Foxpro 3.0, the list that was running fine in Foxpro 3.0 for less than 60 items, doesn’t display any bitmaps in Foxpro 5.0. The picture property seems to work differently in Foxpro 5.0.

>· It can display or not any bitmap.
>· The bitmap can be changed or not when the user clicks on the item.
>· The list can be displayed in several columns. The list can be ordered.
>· Items can be added or removed from the list.

>· No restrictions on the number of items used in the list.
