Summary:

The Load Picture dialog box for the 3-D Command Button, 3-D Group Push

Button, Gauge, and Picture Clip custom controls include the extensions

for picture formats that are invalid formats for these controls.

This information applies to Microsoft Professional Toolkit for

Microsoft Visual Basic programming system version 1.0 for Windows.

More Information:

The 3-D Command Button, 3-D Group Push Button, Gauge, and Picture Clip

custom controls use the same dialog box that Visual Basic uses to

assign pictures to certain properties. However, not all .BMP, .ICO and

.WMF files are valid picture formats for the properties of these

controls.

The following table lists the valid formats for the picture properties

of custom controls and the error messages displayed if an invalid

picture format is used:
