invalid picture when image not selected in file list box

When I click through the directory and file list boxes and find an image, it displays in an imagebox I have setup.

But if I click anything other than an image it comes up the error 'Invalid picture' how can I put in a message box saying 'not an image' instead of this VB error?

My code is: -

Code:

Private Sub Dir1_Change()
File1.Path = Dir1.Path
End Sub

Private Sub File1_Click()
Image1.Picture = LoadPicture(File1.Path & "\" & File1.FileName)
End Sub

You could include an error handler in the routine. You can capture the error number and deal with it with a message box to alert the user to choose another file. You can look at the tutorial on Error Handlers to get more information.

Hello,

Or simply use the pattern Property of the FileListBox !... (it's done for that purpose and accepts multiple patterns....).
Have a glance at it in your MSDN (would certainly be a good idea).

By any chance, would you tell me what formats your viewing?

Are you viewing PCX files? If so how are you vieing them?

Dont mean to piggyback on this post....
