PRB: Controls within Frames Are Not Supported

 Last reviewed: December 9, 1997
Article ID: Q166105
The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Visual InterDev, version 1.0

SYMPTOMS

When you insert an MS Forms 2.0 Frame in an .alx file, the following error message appears: 

   This control does not support a persistence format compatible with HTML,
   and cannot be saved. Please contact the manufacturer of the control for
   an updated version.
Click OK to close the message. Insert a command button (or any other control) into the Frame. When the .alx is closed and reopened, the Frame appears, but the button no longer appears in the frame.

CAUSE

The MS Forms 2.0 Frame control does not support a persistence format compatible with HTML.

RESOLUTION

MS Forms 2.0 Frame is not supported in VID. The user can draw a border around several controls and write code to emulate what the frame would do.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.
