BUG: Narrow ToolBar Control Painting

• Standard, Professional, and Enterprise Editions of Microsoft Visual Basic, 32-bit, for Windows 4.0

SYMPTOMS

When inserting multiple buttons on a toolbar with the wrappable property set to TRUE, only first row of buttons are displayed when program is run.

WORKAROUND

Place the following code in the form load event.

Private Sub Form_Load()
 form1.show
 form1.refresh
End Sub

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be an issue in Visual Basic version 4.0, 32 bit. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce the Problem

1. Start Visual Basic or from the File menu, choose New Project (ALT, F, N).

2. Add a toolbar to the form.

3. Choose the (Custom) entry in the Properties window.

4. Insert 3 buttons from the ToolBar Control Properties dialog box.

5. Set the Wrappable property to True.

6. Re-size the form so that the buttons are wrapped.

7. Run the program.

Resizing the form will allow all buttons to be displayed. Of course, the form's borderstyle must not be fixed.
