treeview and IE5: invisible items!

Please help me! I developed and used for months a web based application based on the TreeView ActiveX from Microsoft, version "6" (ie. the one included in the MSCOMCTL.OCX, shipped with Visual Studio 6).

This control works fine with IE4, however I', actually driving really crazy with a problem under IE5: the items are invisible! If I click refresh button for random times, there are chances to watch the items, but... :(

For 'invisible' I mean items are displayer as the caption doesn't contain anything. For example, if the item has got children, you can see the "+" but nothing aside.

This problem appears with all of our ie5 installations, so I think you may tray this behavious by putting the treeview into an html page, load some items (for example) on the document_load event, then trying from an IE5 machine.

I think this problem is due to the different font handling routines, since there are no problems with the old TreeView (if you remember, the control did not let you define font attributes for a single node).

Please help me!

(ps. email too, if possible)
