background image strange behaviour

[kromax]

Hi, I'm experiencing a strange effect.

I have a form with a backgroundimage set to a jpg in the relative property.

I can see the image in the form ind the IDE, but when I start application the form has the system grey color and no image is displayed.

I wrote several apllications and this is the first time it happens.

Any suggestions.

Thank you in advance.

I'm guessing the jpg is in the same folder as the form? Are you copying the jpg to the bin\debug folder?

Hi, I do not load the image from code.

As I wrote I've set the image in the BackGroundImage property choosing "Import" from "Local resource" in the dialog box.

Then I effectively see the image in the form in editor, but when I launch the application this image does not appear and the form has the system grey background color.

I tried also to set a backgroundimage on a command button, but it's the same: the image does not appear at runtime.

Then I guess there is a wrong setting or coding somewhere I can't see.

I've performed several times the same operation with other applications and they work fine, but not this one.

 

Any suggestions?

Have you given the resource a locale that is different from the form itself?

I don't understand the word "locale" in "Have you given the resource a locale that is different from the form itself?"
