BUG: Clicking Menu Does Not Go Straight to the Click Event

The information in this article applies to:

• Standard, Professional, and Enterprise Editions of Microsoft Visual Basic, version 4.0, for Windows

SYMPTOMS

When you click on a menu item in Design mode, the Click event for that menu item should always appear in the code window. However, this behavior does not occur when you access the Property window before clicking a menu item and the WindowList check box has been clicked for that menu item. The code window appears, but it is set for the General Declarations section.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a issue in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. We are researching this issue and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
