BUG: Invalid Form BorderStyle Value Does Not Raise Error

Last reviewed: February 5, 1998
Article ID: Q180534

The information in this article applies to:

Windows CE Toolkit for Visual Basic 5.0, version 1.0

SYMPTOMS

Setting the BorderStyle property of a form to an invalid value (any value greater than 1) does not raise an error at design-time or at run-time. If an invalid value is set, the form displays with a fixed single border during run-time.

RESOLUTION

The only valid border styles for a Windows CE application are "None" and "Fixed Single." Their numeric values are 0 and 1 respectively.

To avoid compatibility problems in the future, do not set the BorderStyle property of a form to any value other those listed above.

STATUS

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