SYMPTOMS
When clearing the "ImageList" property of a ToolBar control, the ToolBar buttons unexpectedly shrink to a very small size.



RESOLUTION
Switching the application in and out of run-mode, or resetting the ImageList property will cause the ToolBar buttons to revert to the correct size.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.



Steps to Reproduce Behavior

 * 1) Create a Standard EXE project in Visual Basic. Form1 is created by default.
 * 2) Choose Components from the Project menu, check "Microsoft Windows Common Controls 6.0," and click OK.
 * 3) Add a ToolBar and an ImageList control to Form1.
 * 4) View the ImageList's custom property page and select the "Images" tab.
 * 5) Click "Insert Picture," select one or more files from a folder under the Icons folder, such as "Arw01dn.ico," and click "OK."
 * 6) View the ToolBar's custom property page.
 * 7) Set the "ImageList" property to "ImageList1."
 * 8) Click the "Buttons" tab and insert a button. Set this button's "Image" property to "1" and click "Apply."
 * 9) Switch back to the "General" tab, set the "ImageList" property to "," and click "Apply." The button and the ToolBar shrink to a very small size when no change in size was expected.
