The information in this article applies to: - Standard and Professional Editions of Microsoft Visual Basic for Windows, version 2.0- Microsoft Visual Basic programming system for Windows, version 1.0
SYMPTOMSWhen loading a Windows bitmap, icon, or metafile into the Picture property of a Visual Basic form or picture control by 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.
RESOLUTIONType in the extension at the end of the filename. To correctly load a file, you must specify both the base filename and the extension.
STATUSMicrosoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the products listed above. This bug was corrected in Microsoft Visual Basic version 3.0 for Windows. In Visual Basic version 3.0, .BMP is added as the extension if none is specified.
MORE INFORMATIONNormally, 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.
