BUG: Line Controls Drawn on a Frame Are Not Visible at Run-time

 Last reviewed: February 10, 1998
Article ID: Q180761
The information in this article applies to:
  • Windows CE Toolkit for Visual Basic 5.0, version 1.0

SYMPTOMS

A line control can be drawn on a frame control at design-time, but it is not visible at run-time.

RESOLUTION

One workaround that affects only horizontal and vertical lines is to use a frame control instead of a line control. The caption property of this frame should be removed.

When creating a horizontal line, set the height of the frame to 90 and the width of the frame to the desired width of the line needed. For vertical lines, set the width of the frame to 15 and the height of the frame to the desired line length.

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.

MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

  1. Open a new Windows CE Project in Visual Basic 5.0. Form1 is created by default.

  2. Add a frame control to Form1.

  3. Draw one or more line controls onto the frame control.

  4. Press the F5 key to Run the project and note that the line control(s) are not visible.
