For a multi-select, you should start thinking of using an ObservableCollection and updating that; that way changes are reflected back to the ListBox and you're not updating the ListBox yourself (and can ignore any ListBox events). The multi-selections represent keys into your ObservableCollection; which could br shadowed with a dictionary. "(I) am amazed to see myself here rather than there ... now rather than then". ― Blaise Pascal

Thanks for that, something for the weekend experimentation! Never underestimate the power of human stupidity RAH

Unless the OP is using a single VM, you have missed important information out. How is another unrelated control going to be updated? If you see my answer, you can see the common mechanisms which answers the question the OP actually asked. *pre-emptive celebratory nipple tassle jiggle* - Sean Ewington "Mind bleach!

in a GPU things are quite different: it is dealing with streaming data, performing "simple" operations on a sequence of pixels, without much state involved, with tailored memory ports, and highly predictable. More cores means a smaller screen area per core, hence faster. Video processing is inherently a candidate for parallel processing; your average web browser, spreadsheet, whatever, isn't. :) Luc Pattyn [My Articles] Nil Volentibus Arduum Fed up by FireFox memory leaks I switched to Opera and now CP doesn't perform its paste magic, so links will not be offered.

You get that info with SHGetFileInfo. It gives you the HICON back if you call it appropriately.

Solved this, was the order in which I was collapsing and Viewing the grids that was blocking my mouse from selecting the textblocks.

I've tracked down the issue, trying to resolve it now. My issue stems from creating a custom style in Blend for parts of a third party control. I am using NavigationPane from Codeplex and had created styles for the splitterbars and buttons this seemed to work fine on my desktop but when moving it to my laptop it wouldn't display the design-time preview of the form. removing the Style="" comment made it viewable again. I've decided to modify the source code of NavigationPane and added my own style to it's list of Styles. So far this has solved the issue. This has been resolved Thank you for all the help.

Thanks for all the help I have it working now! :)

here's my current code to add a button: public void updateMRU() { // add a new button ButtonItem button = new ButtonItem(filename,"&1 " + filename); button.ImagePaddingHorizontal = 8; button.Tag = filename; menuFileMRU.SubItems.Add(button); //button.Click += new EventHandler(button\_Click); } The last line to assign an event handler gives me an error before compilation. The name button_Click does not exist in the current context. Every example I've found to create a button and event handler looks like this. If I remark that line out my button does appear in the correct spot with all the information. Why can't I get the EventHandler to work? By the way I'm using DotNetBar and placing the control inside a GalleryContainer, but it allows for buttons and according to Dev Components their Buttonitem is just an overloaded Button control.
