DOCUMENT:Q142828 11-JAN-2001 [vbwin] TITLE :PRB: Incorrect Toolbar Bitmaps Installed with VB 4.0 PRODUCT :Microsoft Visual Basic for Windows PROD/VER:WINDOWS:4.0 OPER/SYS: KEYWORDS:kbVBp kbVBp400bug kbGrpDSVB kbDSupport ====================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The information in this article applies to: - Microsoft Visual Basic Standard Edition, 32-bit, for Windows, version 4.0 - Microsoft Visual Basic Professional Edition, 16-bit, for Windows, version 4.0 - Microsoft Visual Basic Professional Edition, 32-bit, for Windows, version 4.0 - Microsoft Visual Basic Enterprise Edition, 16-bit, for Windows, version 4.0 - Microsoft Visual Basic Enterprise Edition, 32-bit, for Windows, version 4.0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SYMPTOMS ======== The following pairs of bitmaps that come with Visual Basic are identical, but they should be different: \bitmaps\outline\open.bmp AND \bitmaps\tlbr_w95\open.bmp (222 bytes) (246 bytes) \bitmaps\assorted\delete.bmp AND \bitmaps\tlbr_w95\delete.bmp (382 bytes) (246 bytes) RESOLUTION ========== Although they are not installed correctly, there are two different versions of Open.bmp and Delete.bmp included on the distribution media for Visual Basic 4.0. The Extract.exe program, which comes with Visual Basic, can be used to extract the Windows 95 toolbar versions of Open.bmp and Delete.bmp from the installation disks or CD. These files can then be copied over the files in the tlbr_w95 directory. To extract the Open.bmp file, open an MS-DOS command window, change to the drive that your installation disk resides in, and enter the following line: extract /a /e /l c:\temp vb4-1.cab open.bmp where c:\temp is the name of a temporary directory that the new copy of Open.bmp will be extracted to. The '/a' switch tells Extract.exe to search all .cab files for the file(s) specified. After pressing ENTER, Extract.exe starts searching, and finds and extracts the first copy of Open.bmp (which is already installed). It continues searching and finds the second copy, at which point it will ask if it's ok to overwrite Open.bmp. Choose OK and let Extract.exe finish up. The second version of Open.bmp now resides in the directory specified in the command. All that remains now is to copy it to the tlbr_w95 subdirectory. Repeat the same steps to extract the other version of Delete.bmp. For more information on Extract.exe enter 'extract /?' at a command prompt. STATUS ====== Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available. MORE INFORMATION ================ Steps to Reproduce ------------------ 1. Start Visual Basic, or if it is already running, choose New Project from the File menu. 2. Double-click twice on the Image button in the Toolbox to add two image controls to the form. Move one of the image controls so both are visible. 3. Change the Picture property of Image1 to: \bitmaps\outline\open.bmp 4. Change the Picture property of Image2 to: \bitmaps\tlbr_w95\open.bmp The pictures in the two image controls should be different, but they're not. Manually extracting the second Open.bmp from the installation disks or CD will allow access to both bitmaps.
