Using our form from the last video, add and “image” control to the top called “imglogo”:
Click it, then draw the image on the top of your form. The click “Cancel” when the “Insert Picture” dialog appears. You can either select the image from a specific folder, or code it to appear on the load event. We are doing the latter.
Right click the image and make the Properties dialog box appear. From the “Property Sheet”, click “Other” then “Name”, and call it, “imgLogo”.
We code it for the image to appear when the form loads.
Private Sub Form_Load()
Me.imgLogo.Picture = "C:\WINDOWS\ServicePackFiles\i386\mslogo.jpg"
End Sub
Private Sub fraCustomerLabels_Click()
If Me.fraCustomerLabels.Value = 2 Then
Me.cboCountry.Requery
Me.cboCountry.SetFocus
End If
End Sub
