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 &quot;.BMP&quot; & &quot;.ICO&quot; 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 &quot;.BMP&quot; supported



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
