Code:
Sub App_Start
Form1.Show
a = "smiley.gif"
ImageList1.Add(a)
a = "btnhome.bmp"
ImageList1.Item(0) = a
<font color="Red">form1.Image </font>= ImageList1.Item(0)
End Sub
That works because Form.Image can convert a string filename to a bitmap using GetBitmapFromString, ImageLib.Drawer.DrawImage1 and ImageLibEx.DrawerEx.DrawImage won't so can't use an ImageList containing strings.
EDIT: Corrected the DrawIMage references.
