DOCERR: DBGrid Does Not Support Display of Pictures

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

SYMPTOMS

The Microsoft Visual Basic Help file contains two documentation errors in the following paragraph on the DBGrid control:

"Each cell of a DBGrid control can hold either text or picture values, but not linked or embedded objects. You can specify the current cell in code, or the user can change it at run time using the mouse or the arrow keys. Cells can be edited interactively, by typing into the cell, or programatically."

There are two errors in this paragraph. First, it states that the control can hold pictures. Unfortunately, the control cannot hold pictures. Second, the word programatically is misspelled; it should be spelled programmatically.

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.

MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Problem

From the Help menu on the DBGrid control, select Display, and in the secondary window, choose the DBGrid Control topic. The second paragraph under the Note contains the incorrect entries.
