Are you using the OnPaint event, and drawing it every time the form repaints?

The MenuItem Class does not automatically support icons :(. You have to set .OwnerDraw() property to true, and handle the MeasureItem (setting the size of the item) and DrawItem (drawing the item) events. Instead of doing that for every MenuItem on your form, you can make a class inheriting from MenuItem, that automatically sets OwnerDraw to true, and draws the item with it's icon. Here is an example someone has posted to this site. Working with OwnerDraw Menus in VB.NET

If you are meaning like scrolling around, try putting one in a panel and setting the panel's .AutoScroll() Property to true. Hope this helps

Try the .SelectedIndex() property of the listbox. Hope This Helps Kyle

There is a function in Microsoft.VisualBasic called Instr that can, given two strings, give you the number of times that string2 occurs in string1. Try using this function Function ContainsStr(Str1 As String, Str2 as String) As Boolean Return (Microsoft.VisualBasic.Instr(Str1, Str2) > 0) End Function Hope This Helps

Thanks. I don't like using other people's code, but I will write my own library using the methods discussed in the article. Kyle

I am trying to use the use Mscomm32.ocx, but it gives me an exception stating that I don't have the liscense to use it, even after I use regsvr32 to register it. :confused: any thoughts?

Thanks. Dave Kreskowiak wrote: What's wrong with the .Dispose() method? I was using a System.Resources.ResourceSet object for a large resource file, and when I called it's .Dispose() or it's .Close() method, it wouldn't free the memory used by it, even after GC.Collect() on then next line. I finally figured out to assign the value Nothing to it, which freed the memory used by it. Kyle

Is there any way to manually dispose of an object using Windows API?

I don't care about the adds, they don't bother me.
