Cesar,

Maybe I'm not doing something correctly. I took a text file and gave it a .jpg extension ... that's about as corrupt as an image file can get right? <g>

I then assign that to the picture value of a control within a Try/Catch. I don't receive any error. The image control simply displays a big X and thats it. Am I missing something?

How do you use LoadPicture() in tandem with the image control? What property of the image control receives the return value of LOADPICTURE()?

Thanks for your help!

Rodd

>>I'm trying to determine if the image that I assign to the Picture value of an image control is actually being displayed. In other words, if the user selects a corrupt image file to be displayed on the form in my image control, it won't be displayed. I want to be able to trap that and provide some feedback to the user so they don't think the form isn't working.

>>As far as I can tell, the image control provides no feedback regarding invalid files ... it just doesn't display the picture. I'm already checking the extension and looking at the first 4 characters of the file to try to determine if they've selected a true image file. But none of this protects against corrupted image files.
