The wxPython "Core Windows/Controls"->ListCtrl demo has lost its up and down
arrow bitmaps in 2.5.2.7 (tested on Win2k and Win98). They are set in the
code, but do not show in the demo.
They were present in an earlier 2.4 releases.
Noticed by an end user. They demanded the "pointy things" back again.
Obviously a major feature requirement...

Here on XP they look ok

And for me as well on win98 and win2k.

On a Win98SE (with latest updates) without any prior python installation I
have just installed:
Python-2.3.4.exe from python.org
wxPythonWIN32-2.5.2.7-Py23.exe from sourceforge
The "Core Windows/Controls"->ListCtrl demo has no arrow bitmaps on Artist,
Title or Genre when clicked to sort. The ListCtrl functions, the columns
sort correctly, the smileys are there, but the bitmaps are not shown on the
column that is sorted.

IIRC the bitmaps on the list view column headers is not supported in older versions of the common controls DLL. Look at the properties of c:\windows\system\comctl32.dll and check the version number. On my win98 test machine it is version 5.81 and I get the bitmaps just fine. There is a comctl32 update program available here:

Maybe this is relevant, and maybe it isn't, but under 2.5.1 I was
having probs with the arrows on W2K. That install was less than a year
old. I didn't have problems with the demo, but in my own code I was
getting runtime errors (not exceptions). When I got rid of the arrow
bitmaps, the problem went away.
I just ran the demo under WinXP (no SP2). I saw arrows OK, except for
the middle column - in that column, the text overwrote the arrow. This
was V2.5.2.
Also, same platform and demo. While viewing the wx.ListCtrl demo, I
killed the demo by hitting the close gadget on the parent frame. I got
a runtime error.
I then re-ran the demo. Closed it. No runtime error.
I then reran the demo. Brought up the wx.ListCtrl demo. Closed the
demo. No runtime error.
I then reran the demo. Brought up the wx.ListCtrl demo. clicked on the
column headers to get the arrow bitmaps. Closed the demo. THEN I got
a runtime error.
In conclusion: the arrow bitmaps might have a problem in the runtime
libraries. I have a hard time believing that a three-week-old install
of XP has oudated comctl32 library. But, for reference: mine's
version 5.82.

Spy++ shows explorer using the same SysListView32 class of control. Explorer
works correctly. Arrows on the sorted column.
Reverting to wxPython 2.4.2.4 and the ListCtrl demo functions correctly.
Arrows on the sorted column.

I've posted a while ago about problems with images on Win98SE here.
With wxPython 2.5.1 the application hang, with wxPython 2.4.2.4 it worked
perfectly, but lost the transparency.
It might be something that also presents this behaviour, but for other
components...
I haven't tried the new wxPython 2.5.2... We've adopted Python 2.3.3
and wxPython 2.4.2.4 as our deployment base to standardize things on
WinXP, Win95 and Win98SE.
