MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

1. Create an ActiveX Control Project in Visual Basic.

2. Place a Frame in UserControl1 and change the caption property of the

   Frame to "Control1."

3. Add a second control (UserControl2) to the project. (This will be the

   inner control)

4. Add a Label control to the upper-left hand corner of UserControl2 and

   change the Caption Property to "Control2."

5. Put a "UserControl2" control inside the Frame created on the first

   control.

6. Create an Internet Download setup with the Setup Wizard.

7. From within Internet Explorer, navigate to Project1.htm that was

    created by the Setup Wizard. You should see UserControl1 with a
    UserControl2 on it.  There will also be a UserControl2 beside
    UserControl1 because the Setup Wizard creates <OBJECT> tags for both
    controls in Project1.htm.

8. From the Internet Explorer File menu, click Print.

The outer control will be printed, but the inner control (UserControl2) will not.
