I found out what is was. The INITCOMMONCONTROLSEX structure had the size and flags fields the wrong way, so the call to InitCommonControlsEx was failing. It's just weird that it worked fine Windows XP, sometimes is really bad for developing on, because it hides errors.

Because most of these "icons" aren't really icons; they are contained within a bitmap resource that is used in a masked image list. If you open shell32.doo or shdocvw.dll, you'll see several bitmap resources of various sizes and resolutions. You can either keep these as a bitmap and specify the size of a single image and the transparency color in your ImageList, then use ImageList.Images.AddStrip which will create individual images from the bitmap resource. You can also do this yourself by opening the bitmap in a decent image editor, splitting the images, and masking the color yourself (or still use the transparency color in the ImageList). -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.21 GCS/G/MU d- s: a- C++++ UL@ P++(+++) L+(--) E--- W+++ N++ o+ K? w++++ O- M(+) V?
