remove picture from form - comp.lang.basic.visual.misc

I added a picture to a form when I meant to put it in a picture box. How can I delete it from the form? I'm using VB4-32. http://davehouston.net http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/roZetta/ roZetta-subscribe@yahoogroups.com

But I remembered what I did once before - I made a 1x1 pixel .BMP of the same color as the form and used it to replace the unwanted picture. http://davehouston.net http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/roZetta/ roZetta-subscribe@yahoogroups.com

When Jan said "select the picture property", he actually meant to say select (highlight) the "(Bitmap)" text in the property section of the Picture Property line and delete that. If it works the same as here in VB6, the "(Bitmap)" text will be replaced by text which says "(None)". Just clicking on the Picture Property and hitting Delete will not remove the selected picture... you have to highlight the word "(Bitmap)" and delete that. Rick

But I remembered what I did once before - I made a > 1x1 pixel .BMP of the same color as the form and used it to replace the > unwanted picture. Click twice in the Picture property (the form's property window) to insure the text cursor (carat) is there blinking away where it says "(Bitmap)" before you press the keyboard's "Delete" key. When it's gone, it should say "(None)". I'm quite sure VB4 works the same way regarding this as VB5 and VB6. Don't have my old VB4 installed anymore, so I can't test to verify it though.

But that's not very intuitive until after seeing it work. http://davehouston.net http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/roZetta/ roZetta-subscribe@yahoogroups.com

The word doesn't actually need to be highlighted, simply place the caret in the editable field and delete. Clicking twice on the property value, not the property name, will accomplish this. David

Interesting... all of these years I've assumed that since the text was highlight-able, it needed to be highlighted before you could delete it (you know, like normal text in a Windows program)... it never occurred to me that it would work by highlighting only a portion to as little as none of the text. Live and learn. Rick
