>>Hi all,

Note, however, that it's not very stable. You'll need a timer to monitor the window status. Further, it's limited to displaying 32x32 icons.

Dear Esteban and George,

if it is really an issue, I can re-program bbListView to accept a direct icon handle as picture source. (e.g. bbListView.Pictures(x).Load(6,HICON) )
