Figured out how to alter an existing image. Pretty simple really. This colors the last 4 lines of the image itself. This of course only works for a 16 x 16 image, but can easily be changed for different placement and image size. Since I have 2 controls in 3 different places, I just do: instance.Image = ColorImage(instance.Image, newColor) Private Function ColorImage(ByRef theImage As System.Drawing.Bitmap, \_ ByRef theColor As System.Drawing.Color) \_ As System.Drawing.Bitmap Dim x, y As Integer For y = 12 To 15 For x = 0 To 15 theImage.SetPixel(x, y, theColor) Next Next ColorImage = theImage End Function

Also noticed something else re: richtextbox. Tried setting up a reverse find. Seems that no matter what I did, the find always started at the end. I used instance.Find(theText, startPos, RichTextBoxFinds.Reverse) And while it would find theText, it would always find the same text, last one in the box. I could put a starting position between 2 known locations of theText, and it would make no difference. In the end, I put the text into a string, then did an InstrRev to get the location, then set the SelectionStart and SelectionLength accordingly, and it works. But it should work using the .find!

Must have last been available in VS 98 (6). Unfortunately, that one doesn't work on Windows 7. Maybe I should try loading it into the VPC. Anyway, sure would be nice if it allowed debug/release at the same time in batch.
