Putting an Image 'Property' in ActiveX Control

[Isuru]

Hi! I want to insert an image property to a custom ActiveX control that I'm building. I tried the folowing code,




Public Property Let Picture(s As Image)
varPicture = s
UserControl.Picture = varPicture.Picture
PropertyChanged ("Picture")
End Property

Public Property Get Picture() As Image
Picture = varPicture
End Property

but this doesn't appear to work. When I try to persist the values by using the 'UserControl_ReadProperties' and 'UserControl_WritePorperties' methods, vb gives me an error message.
I can use a String property to make the user type in the path of the picture but that's so unprofessional

Please Help
Thanks in Advance

what is the error msg?

what does the code look like for the ReadProperty and the WriteProperties subs ?

Without an error message, it looks pretty likely that the errors that you are getting is from not using the Set statement when assigning Objects to member variables and return functions.

Try this...

Public Property Let Picture(s As Image)
Set varPicture = s
UserControl.Picture = varPicture.Picture
PropertyChanged ("Picture")
End Property

Public Property Get Picture() As Image
Set Picture = varPicture
End Property

HTH,

Thanks for your help guys!

I found out what was wrong. I was using the wrong kind of object.
I tried to use an image object when all I had to do was use the stdPicture object.
The code works fine now.

Thank you for replying promptly to this message.
It's nice to know that there are knowledgeable people out there
