Application.LoadPicture (Access)

The LoadPicture method loads a graphic into an ActiveX control.

Assign the return value of the LoadPicture method to the Picture property of an ActiveX control to dynamically load a graphic into the control. The following example loads a bitmap into a control called OLECustomControl on an Orders form:

LoadPicture (FileName)

FileName: The file name of the graphic to be loaded. The graphic can be a bitmap file (.bmp), icon file (.ico), run-length encoded file (.rle), or metafile (.wmf).


Set Forms!Orders!OLECustomControl.Picture = _ 
 LoadPicture("Stars.bmp")
