Hiten,

While I've heard of this problem before, I've never experienced it myself. Since I use a different method of populating a treeview or listview, I'm not sure whether or not it's my method that's the reason or something else I do. IAC, even if this doesn't solve the problem, my suggestion might have another benefit.

I gather all the bitmaps for my listviews and treeviews into a single bitmap. I use the Picture Clip AciveX control and load the other controls (via the GraphicCell property) in the control's Init. You can see how I do this this if you download my Obj2Bmp application from here.

The benefits (even if it doesn't solve your problem) is that rather than having to load a number of different bitmaps, you only have to load one. This means less file I/O and better performance. Further, if it doesn't work, there's only one additional file cluttering up the application's home directory.

If you decide to try this, please let me know if it does solve the problem.

PS - Obj2Bmp can be used to solve the biggest shortcoming of working with the Picture Clip control. By placing a shape on a form and placing the individual bitmaps within the shape, it's easy to create and maintain the image that the control uses.
