Every now and then, there seems to be a problem with my owner drawn listbox where all the icons will disappear completely, and when someone new joins the channel, it will not draw the icon.

It seems that when this happens the only thing that will be drawn are the text ladder ratings and the text usernames.

Any ideas as to what would cause this?

Thanks in advance.

This is C++ ? Post some code? Have you checked all the return values / GetLastError from the functions you use to draw the icons?

Yes, C++, and no, I haven't checked those, it would require waiting for the icons to disappear  And usually it only happens after a long time

You leak resources here.

You should still add code to check for errors and display them. Actually, if you build this with pdb's and run it, you could just break in with devstudio or windbg at whatever time you have the icon problem and check all return codes to find out what the problem is. My guess is that you are running out of resources.

Ok....I'm not familiar with how that is leaking recources.  Should I only load it once?

Ah I see...

HBITMAP hBM = CreateCompatibleBitmap(pdis->hDC, 28, 14);

This is completely unnecessary for one...

And the bitmap should be loaded only once at program start, and destroyed when the program ends.

Thanks for your help.

I have somewhat the same problem, on my computer I don't see any icons, but I know it works because I sent it out two about three other people, and when they ran the program, they said they saw icons in the listbox.  Anyone have any ideas why it might not work on my computer, but other people's computers?

http://darknet.darktech.org/ods.zip is the program if anyone wants to see and tell me if they see icons in the listbox.

Code would be nice.

No icons.
