BUG: THREED.VBX: Command/Group Push Buttons Show Invalid File

 Last reviewed: June 21, 1995
Article ID: Q84553
The information in this article applies to:

- Standard and Professional Editions of Microsoft Visual Basic for 

  Windows, versions 2.0 and 3.0
- Microsoft Professional Toolkit for Microsoft Visual Basic programming 
  system for Windows, version 1.0

SYMPTOMS

The Picture property for 3-D Command Button and 3-D Group Push Button custom controls can load certain picture formats. However, the 3-D Command Button Load Picture dialog box incorrectly shows *.WMF in the File Name box. This mistakenly indicates that .WMF (Windows metafile) files can be used for pictures. Also, the 3-D Group Push Button Load Picture dialog box for the PictureUp, PictureDn, and PictureDisabled properties incorrectly lists *.WMF and *.ICO in the File Name box. This mistakenly indicates that .WMF and .ICO files can be used for pictures.

RESOLUTION

The 3-D Command Button control Picture property can only use .BMP (bitmap) and .ICO (icon) files. If you attempt to load a .WMF file, the following error message will be displayed: 

   Only picture formats ".BMP" & ".ICO" supported
The 3-D Group Push Button control PictureUp, PictureDn, and PictureDisabled properties can only use .BMP files. If you attempt to load a .ICO or .WMF file, the following error message will be displayed: 

   Only picture format ".BMP" supported
