Summary:
When loading a Windows bitmap, icon, or metafile into the Picture
property of a Visual Basic form or picture control using the Load
Picture dialog box (activated by choosing the ellipsis button to the
right of the Properties list box), the default filename extension
(BMP, WMF, ICO) is not automatically added if you enter a base
filename without an extension. To correctly load a file, you must
specify both the base filename and the extension.
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem with Microsoft Visual
Basic programming system version 1.0 for Windows. Microsoft is
researching this problem and will post new information here as it
becomes available.
More Information:
Normally, a Windows file list dialog box that displays one or more
default extensions will automatically locate and open a file with any
of the default extensions if given the base name. However, this does
not occur when you select a file for the Picture property by using the
Load Picture dialog box.
Workaround
----------
To work around this problem, simply type in the extension at the end
of the filename.
Steps to Reproduce Problem
--------------------------
1. From the File menu, choose New Project.
2. Select the Picture property from the Properties list box.
3. Choose the ellipsis button on the right of the Settings box to
bring up the Load Picture dialog box.
4. Type the name of one of the files listed in the Files box without
its extension and choose the OK button.
An error message will displayed stating that the selected file was not
loaded.
