PRB: VB Tab Control Picture Property Doesn't Support Metafiles

Last reviewed: November 17, 1995
Article ID: Q138532

The information in this article applies to:

Standard, Professional, and Enterprise Editions of Microsoft Visual Basic, 16-bit and 32-bit, for Windows, version 4.0

SYMPTOMS

When attempting to set the Picture or TabPicture property of the Tab (SSTab) control to a Windows metafile, you receive an "Invalid picture" error.

CAUSE

The Visual Basic Tab control does not support using a metafile for these properties. However, the Tab control does support the use of bitmaps and icons for the Picture and TabPicture properties.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.
