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.
