BUG: Spin Control Does Not Obey Move Method

• Standard, Professional, and Enterprise Editions of Microsoft Visual Basic, 16-bit and 32-bit, for Windows, version 4.0

SYMPTOMS

When you use the Move method of the Spin control, the control may not move if it is invisible.

STATUS

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

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, issue the Move command twice. For example, instead of writing:

   SpinButton1.Move 0,0,200,200

   SpinButton1.Move 0,0,200,200
   SpinButton1.Move 0,0,200,200

Steps To Reproduce Problem

1. Start a new project. Form1 is created by default.

2. Place an OutRider SpinButton control on the form. From the Tools menu, select the Custom Controls menu option, and then select the Outrider SpinButton.

3. In the Form_Click event, place the following code:

      Private Sub Form_Click()
   
      SpinButton1.Visible = False
   
      SpinButton1.Move 0, 0, 200, 200
   
      SpinButton1.Visible = True
   
      End Sub
   
   

MORE INFORMATION

In general, this problem is encountered when the size and the position of the control are adjusted. If the size of the control is not adjusted by the Move command, the control will move correctly.
