--- Comment #2 from Robert Walker support@robertinventor.com 2008-09-11 07:32:08 --- Just looked at my report again now, some time after I posted it, and I see it was a bit unclear, but maybe you know what I meant.
Should have said:
OleLoadPicturePath should load gifs and jpegs (also .ico and .wmf) as well as bitmaps in Wine since it is able to do that in Windows. As an intermediate fix, if it doesn't load them then it should initialise the pPic to NULL to make sure the calling program doesn't treat an uninitialised pPic as a valid pointer.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms678485(VS.85).aspx "The stream must be in BMP (bitmap), JPEG, WMF (metafile), ICO (icon), or GIF format."
Hope that is clear now and apologies if you already understood what I meant by the bug report.
Thanks,
Robert
