Is there a way to convert a Picture from enhanced metafile (picture.type = 4) to Bitmap format (picture.type = 1)?
Not within Visio. Use a graphics application to convert the EMF file to BMP then import that into Visio.
But why?
I want to use a stencil icon in the RibbonXML. This way you don't need to carry around bmp files but they can be generated on the fly. I posted this as I was learning more about the differences between master.shape.picture and return from loadPicture().
I actually resolved this already you can look at the code here http://visguy.com/vgforum/index.php?topic=8051.0 (http://visguy.com/vgforum/index.php?topic=8051.0)
But thank you for the response!
