Setting a command button picture property with VBIDE

[jayscot]

I'm trying to set the picture property of a command button from an Addin which places controls on a form in a vb project.

This is an example of the way I set the rest of the properties when adding the button.

With frmNewForm.VBControls.Add("CommandButton&quot.Properties
.item("Top&quot = 100
.item("Left&quot = 100
.item("Name&quot = "cmdWhatever"
.item("Width&quot = 295
.item("Height&quot = 295
.item("Style&quot = 1
.item("TabStop&quot = False

'this doesn't work
.item("Picture&quot = "D:\dev\Seltrol\Graphics\Locator.bmp"

'neither does this
.item("Picture&quot = LoadResPicture(5001,vbResBitmap)
End With

Try the LoadPicture() function

Tried the LoadPicture(). No Luck, the Err.Msg says Automation Failure and Catastrophic Failure.

These messages have a way of giving a guy a sense of hopelessness.
