Summary:

Small (8 point) Roman and Modern fonts will not underline on EGA

systems when using the Animated Button custom control.

(ANIBUTTON.VBX.)

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in 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

--------------------------

On an EGA system:

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

ANIBUTON.VBX custom control file. The Animated Button tool appears

in the toolbox.

3. Create a default Animated Button control by double-clicking on the

animated tool in the toolbox.

4. Set the following properties from the Properties Bar:

FontName = Modern (or Roman)

FontSize = 8

FontUnderline = True

Notice that the caption is not underlined as it is on a VGA system. If

the FontSize is changed to a larger size, the underline will appear.

The underline will also appear on fonts other than Roman or Modern.
