MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

  1. Create a form and place a list box or combo box on it.


  2. Change the ScaleMode of the form to 0-Foxels.


  3. Click on the list box or combo box, and change the ColumnCount to 3.


  4. Change the Columnwidth to 1,10,15 and move off the ColumnWidth property item in the Property sheet. Note that the ColumnWidth values revert to 1,1,1 as soon you move off the ColumnWidth property. All the values in the ColumnWidth property revert to the first numeric value in the list. For instance, 15,20,25 would become 15,15,15 after moving off the ColumnWidth property.
