Summary:
If the Height property of a graph made with the Graph custom
control is set to less than approximately 1.75 inches (depending on
monitor size and type), the text contained in the BottomTitle will
disappear from the graph.
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem with the Graph 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. In the Files box, select the
GRAPH.VBX custom control file. The Graph tool appears in the
toolbox.
3. Place a Graph control on Form1.
4. Size the Graph control to about 3 inches by 3 inches.
5. Change the Graph BottomTitle property to "This is a test". Notice
that the title, "This is a test", is displayed at the bottom of
the chart.
6. Notice that as you size the form to be shorter, the typeface scales
down automatically. Eventually it will disappear off the graph.
This occurs when the Height property is less than approximately
1.75 inches (depending on monitor size and type), regardless of the
form's ScaleMode setting.
This behavior occurs because the Graph custom control chooses the text
font automatically based on control size. When the smallest size text
font is exhausted, it blanks out the BottomTitle text.
