SYMPTOMS
Applications compiled and tested with earlier versions of the ListView control may encounter an unexpected error:
when running on a system with version 5.00.3714 of COMCTL32.OCX. This unexpected error may cause the application to crash if it was not designed to handle unexpected errors.
CAUSE
The ListView control in COMCTL32.OCX version 5.00.3714 incorrectly raises this error when the FindItem method is called to search on the item Tags or SubItems and the ListView is empty.
RESOLUTION
This problem has been fixed in version 5.00.3828 of COMCTL32.OCX and is available in Visual Studio 97 Service Pack 1.
For additional information about the Visual Studio 97 Service Pack 1, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

MORE INFORMATION
Steps to Reproduce Behavior
- Start Visual Basic and create a new Standard EXE project.
- Select Project/Components... from the menu and add the "Microsoft Windows Common Controls 5.0" to the project.
- Add a ListView control to the default form in the project.
In the click event of the list view, add the following code to call the FindItem method:
