The information in this article applies to:

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

SYMPTOMS

Changing the value of the SeeThru property of the Graph control has no effect on the behavior of the control.

CAUSE

The SeeThru property of the Graph control is present but it was not implemented in the Graph16.OCX or the Graph32.OCX controls. It was provided in the .VBX version of the Graph control so that the control could be placed on top of other controls. The primary reason for doing this was to allow a PictureBox control to provide a background for the graph. The Visual Basic development team did not think this was appropriate for an .OCX control, so this functionality was intentionally omitted. This change was not noted in the documentation for Visual Basic 4.0. The SeeThru property was retained to provide backward compatibility only.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.

WORKAROUND

There is no known workaround at this time.
