SYMPTOMS
An ImageCombo control on an MDIForm initially appears empty. Even when an
item is selected from the drop-down list it does not display any images.
CAUSE
When on an MDIForm, the ImageCombo does not initially bind to its ImageList
nor does it display its text. So the image(s) does not appear if the
ImageList property of the ImageCombo was set at design-time.
RESOLUTION
To make the image(s) appear, set the ImageList property of the ImageCombo
at run-time when on an MDIForm. To make the text display, set the focus to
the ImageCombo. Note that making the ImageCombo's TabIndex = 0 will not
work.
