Thanks for the information Mike - yet again you prove to be one of the most
reliable and well informed voices in the Delphi community.  I still describe
Delphi Gems as the best looking and most useful site for Delphi there is -
but enough of the back-slapping or you'll get too big-headed  :-)

This is only half the truth. The image list problem can be found in Delphi
versions prior 7 (that's the reason why I wrote don't try that with older
versions). See also
http://community.borland.com/article/0,1410,28423,00.html. The image list
problem (and many others) were fixed for D7 (I had a good part on that
task).
