Summary:
The grid custom control incorrectly does not paint completely when the
GridLines property is set to True (-1). The Grid control leaves
unpainted dots between the cells at the corners of each cell, along
the grid lines.
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem with the Grid custom
control supplied with Microsoft Professional Toolkit for Microsoft
Visual Basic programming system version 1.0 for Windows. We are
researching this problem and will post new information here as it
becomes available.

Steps to Reproduce Problem
--------------------------
1. Run Visual Basic, or from the File menu, choose New Project (ALT,
F, N) if Visual Basic is already running. Form1 is created by
default.
2. From the File menu, choose Add File, and select the GRID.VBX custom
control file. The Grid tool will appear in the Toolbox.
3. Select the Grid tool from the Toolbox, and place a grid (Grid1) on
Form1.
4. Set the Grid Cols and Rows properties both to 8. Size the Grid so
that you can see the entire grid.
5. Set the Grid BackColor property to &HC0C0C0. This is the color of
the grid lines.
6. Run the Control Panel and set the desktop color to red, and make
sure you set the background bitmap to "none" (this makes the
problem more noticeable).
7. Minimize or close all applications other than Visual Basic.
8. Minimize Form1, then restore Form1.
After restoring the form, notice red dots appearing on the grid. This
behavior is not expected. This problem is hard to notice unless you
follow the steps exactly.
