Steps to Reproduce Behavior

1. Open a new Standard EXE project in Visual Basic 6.0. Form1 is created by default.
2. On the Project menu, select Components. Check the Microsoft Windows Common Controls 6.0 and click OK.
3. Add the ImageList and ToolBar controls to Form1.
4. Right-click on ImageList1, select Properties, and then select the Images tab. Add four images to the ImageList.

5. Add the following code to Form1:

   Private Sub Form_Load()
       Set Toolbar1.ImageList = ImageList1
       Toolbar1.Buttons.Add , , , , 1
       Toolbar1.Buttons.Add , , , , 2
       Toolbar1.Buttons.Add , , , , 3
       Toolbar1.Buttons.Add , , , , 4
   End Sub
                       

6. Run the Project. Double-click the toolbar to display the Customize dialog box.
7. Move the images Up and Down using the buttons on the dialog box.
