SYMPTOMS

When attempting to set the Picture or TabPicture property of the Tab (SSTab) control to a Windows metafile, you receive an "Invalid picture" error.

CAUSE

The Visual Basic Tab control does not support using a metafile for these properties. However, the Tab control does support the use of bitmaps and icons for the Picture and TabPicture properties.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.
