BUG: Able to Open Multiple Copies of DBGrid Property Page

Article ID: Q150214
The information in this article applies to:
  • Professional, and Enterprise Editions of Microsoft Visual Basic, 32-bit only, for Windows, version 4.0

SYMPTOMS

Right-clicking the DBGrid control at design time and selecting the Edit option causes the Properties dialog to be shown non-modally. This action displays multiple instances of the Properties dialog. So it is possible to right-click the DBGrid control again and choose Properties to show a second instance of the DBGrid Properties page.

STATUS
