TITLE   :BUG: Toolbar ButtonMenu May Not Display Correctly
PRODUCT :Microsoft Visual Basic for Windows
PROD/VER:WINDOWS:6.0
OPER/SYS:
KEYWORDS:kbCmnCtrls kbCtrl kbToolbar kbVBp kbVBp600bug kbGrpDSVB

======================================================================
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Visual Basic Learning Edition for Windows, version 6.0 
 - Microsoft Visual Basic Professional Edition for Windows, version 6.0 
 - Microsoft Visual Basic Enterprise Edition for Windows, version 6.0 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

Using a ToolBar "ButtonMenu" in conjunction with setting the ToolBar's "Align"
property to "3 - vbAlignLeft" or "4 - vbAlignRight" causes the drop- down
portion of the button to be only partially visible.

RESOLUTION
==========

While the majority of the drop-down portion of the button is not visible, the
portion that is displayed retains the full "ButtonMenu" functionality and can be
used despite the incorrect display.

If the button must be fully displayed, the "Align" property must be set to "0 -
vbAlignNone," "1 - vbAlignTop," or "2 - vbAlignBottom."

STATUS
======

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

MORE INFORMATION
================

Steps to Reproduce Behavior
---------------------------

1. Create a new Standard EXE project. Form1 is created by default.

2. Choose Components from the Project menu, check "Microsoft Windows Common
   Controls - 6.0," and click OK.

3. Add a ToolBar control to Form1.

4. View the ToolBar's custom property page.

5. Select the "Buttons" tab.

6. Click "Insert Button."

7. Change the "Style" property to "5 - tbrDropdown."

8. Click "Insert ButtonMenu."

9. Type "Hello" into the "Text" property and click "OK."

10. View the ToolBar's standard properties.

11. Change the "Align" property to "3 - vbAlignLeft."

12. Run the sample application. The result is that the ToolBar appears on the
   left side of Form1. The actual ToolBar button can be seen; however, its
   drop-down arrow is only partially visible. Clicking on the ToolBar to the
   right of the button still activates the fully functioning drop-down menu.
