PRB: Run-Time Error 372 Occurs with the ImageList Control in Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0 (818616)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Visual Basic Enterprise Edition for Windows 6.0
- Microsoft Visual Basic Professional Edition for Windows 6.0
SYMPTOMSWhen you run a Microsoft Visual Basic application that loads
an ImageList control, you may receive the following error message:
Run-time error 372:
Failed to load control
'ImageList' from mscomctl.ocx. Your version of mscomctl.ocx may be outdated.
Make sure you are using the version of the control that was provided with
your application. CAUSEThis problem occurs if the ImageList control includes icons that have more colors than the color depth
of the Windows desktop can support.RESOLUTIONTo resolve this problem, do one of the following things:
- Edit the icons to use a lower color depth (use 8-bit color
instead of 16-bit, 24-bit, or 32-bit), and then recompile the Visual Basic
application by using the lower color depth.
- Increase the color depth on the computer that the
application is running on. To change the color depth, follow these steps:
- On the Windows desktop, right-click
Properties.
- Click the Settings tab.
- Under Color Quality, click to select a
higher number of display colors.
- Click Apply, and then click
OK.
Note The maximum color depth of some video cards is limited to 8-bits
or 256 colors. In this case, you must recompile the application at the lower
color depth. STATUS This
behavior is by design.
