SUMMARY

The Visual Basic 5.0 Books Online topic entitled "Adding internet features to controls" contains an error in the PictureFromURL Property Let procedure.

MORE INFORMATION

If you run the sample code, you may receive the compile error "Variable not defined" or run-time error 424 "Object Required".

The compile error results from the following line of code in the PictureFromURL Property Let procedure:

   If (AmbientProperties.UserMode = True) _
         And (NewString <> "") Then
                

This line of code should read as follows:

   If (UserControl.Ambient.UserMode = True) _
         And (NewString <> "") Then
                

The Ambient property of a UserControl returns an AmbientProperties object that holds the ambient properties of its container.

STATUS

This documentation error has been fixed in Visual Basic 6.0.
