[VB6] PNG/ICO/ANI pictures in the standard controls.

[The trick]

However, in worst case I may consider replacing that API with OleLoadPicture but that would mean to first load the file into a ByteStream.

There is SHCreateStreamOnFileEx which makes the IStream based on a file.

But beside that, maybe other apps would benefit if you generally also cover OleLoadPicturePath?

Yes i think i can cover that too just i didn't test enough controls yet. I'll update and note in that thread.
