Remarks

Filter returns the filter used when executing the ImportPictureFromFile method.  For instance, if we have an EmfPictureElement, then the filter is "Windows Enhance Metafile (*.emf)|*.emf|".  Only files that match the filter can be imported into the object.

The Filter property can be used to determine if the PictureElement is a BmpPictureElement or an EmfPictureElement.
