ImageCtl Display Problem

All,

Just got Embedded Visual Basic 3.0 up and running. Tried to add a bitmap
image(Image1.bmp) to the form but it will not display. Checked that I have
the correct components active(MSCE Image Control 3.0 and MSCE PictureBox
Control 3.0). Tried to copy image to clipboard and paste to Image control
property and it would not display. I then tried to view bitmap using
"Imagectrl.Picture" property and added path to bitmap(same directory).
Neither of these controls seemed to work. I also tried viewing the bitmap
file using the PictureBox property and again the bitmap will not display.
I have worked with VB 6.0 and using similar controls and worked well. Can
someone tell me what I am doing wrong?

Thanks for your help.

All,
I'm trying to find out if EVB 3.0 requires an upgrade or if the IDE just
doesn't display pictures when the Imagectl property is used? It seems like
it should display when a BMP or 2BP file is enter into the
"imagectl.picture" property.

No, the IDE doesn't show the picture. And the device picture must be
256-color or less.

Chris,
Thanks for the help. I knew that the picture had to 256 colors or less but
I have not seen anything that said that the IDE would not display the
image on the form. I think I'm in for a lot of new surprises working with
EVB. Thanks again.

Not the least of which is that it's deprecated and not supported on any
new WM 05 devices. For new projects you really should be using VB.NET.
