PRB: Check Box Loses 3D Look at Higher Font Sizes

ID: Q127010

3.00 WINDOWS kbtool kbprb

The information in this article applies to:

• Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows, version 3.0

SYMPTOMS

Increasing the FontSize of a check box at design or run time results in displaying the check box as a 2D check box. The thicker border on the left side disappears. This occurs even though the value of the SpecialEffect property is 0-3D.

CAUSE

The border for the check box is not wide enough to accomodate the check box.

WORKAROUND

Use the Autosize property for this control and set it to .T. (True). The Autosize property specifies whether a control is automatically sized to fit its content. It defaults to a .F. (False) value.

For more information about the Autosize property, search for Autosize using the FoxPro Help system.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.
