Right, normally. However this.click() placed in the init() of a listbox does not run code placed in this.click(). Only until you "click" an item in the list will this.click() fire.

For example:

mylist.init()

this.click()

mylist.click()

local lnCnt

select mytable
for lnCnt = 1 to this.ListCount
   go record lnCnt
   if mytable.myfield
      this.picture(lnCnt) = [x.bmp]
   else
      this.picture(lnCnt) = [y.bmp]
   endif
endfor

When I "click" the list on any item I get exactly what I want. Otherwise, each time the list is created, no pics until I "click".

Setting properties in a collection ie.

this.selected(1) = .T.

to highlight the first item works just fine. However, even placing the For loop in this.init() in addition to this.click() does not cause the pics to display until the mouse is used to "click" an item in the listbox.

What I'm getting "in theory" by "clicking" the listitem is,

this.list(listitemId).click()

All I really want to have happen is a bmp shown next to each item based on logic when the listbox is created dynamically in code.
