BUG: Invalid Form BorderStyle Value Does Not Raise Error

ID: Q180534

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows CE Toolkit for Visual Basic 6.0
Microsoft Windows CE Toolkit for Visual Basic 5.0

SYMPTOMS

Setting the BorderStyle property of a form to an invalid value (any value greater than 1) does not raise an error at design-time or at run-time. If an invalid value is set, the form displays with a fixed single border during run-time.

RESOLUTION

The only valid border styles for a Windows CE application are "None" and "Fixed Single." Their numeric values are 0 and 1 respectively. To avoid compatibility problems in the future, do not set the BorderStyle property of a form to any value other those listed above.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.
