The information in this article applies to:
- Standard, Professional, and Enterprise Editions of Microsoft
Visual Basic, 16-bit and 32-bit, for Windows, version 4.0
SYMPTOMS
If the Move method is invoked on a Sheridan Frame or Panel control, the
font is stretched if the size of the control is modified by the Move
method.
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
- Since this behavior does not occur with the Microsoft Frame control, use
it instead of the Sheridan Frame control.
- Instead of using the Move method to resize the control, the width and
height of the control can be adjusted directly. For example, the
following code makes the Frame the same height and width as the form,
and places its upper left hand corner to the upper left hand corner of
the form:
SSFrame1.Move 0, 0, Form1.ScaleWidth, Form1.ScaleHeight
- Replace the line of code above with:
SSFrame1.Width = Form1.ScaleWidth
SSFrame1.Height = Form1.ScaleHeight
SSFrame1.Left = Form1.ScaleLeft
SSFrame1.Top = Form1.ScaleTop
This code will not stretch the Caption of the control.
MORE INFORMATION
Steps to Reproduce Problem
- Start a new project in Visual Basic. Form1 is created by default.
- Place a Sheridan Frame control on Form1. If the Sheridan controls are
not visible in the Toolbox, from the Tools menu, select Custom Controls,
and then select Sheridan 3D Controls. In the Form_Click event, place the
following code:
Private Sub Form_Click()
SSFrame1.Move 0, 0, Form1.ScaleWidth, Form1.ScaleHeight
End Sub
- Run the project by pressing the F5 key. Click on the Form, and notice
that the Font for the caption of the frame control is stretched.
