BUG: Spin Control Does Not Obey Move Method

ID: Q150181

The information in this article applies to:

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

SYMPTOMS

When you use the Move method of the Spin control, the control may not move if it is invisible.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be an issue in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, issue the Move command twice. For example, instead of writing:


   SpinButton1.Move 0,0,200,200

use the following code to move the control if it is invisible:


   SpinButton1.Move 0,0,200,200
   SpinButton1.Move 0,0,200,200

If the size of the control remains unchanged, the command only needs to be issued once.

Steps To Reproduce Problem

Start a new project. Form1 is created by default.

Place an OutRider SpinButton control on the form. From the Tools menu, select the Custom Controls menu option, and then select the Outrider SpinButton.

In the Form_Click event, place the following code:


   Private Sub Form_Click()

   SpinButton1.Visible = False

   SpinButton1.Move 0, 0, 200, 200

   SpinButton1.Visible = True

   End Sub

Run the program by pressing F5, and notice that the control re-sizes but does not move to the upper left hand corner of the client area of the Form.

MORE INFORMATION

In general, this problem is encountered when the size and the position of the control are adjusted. If the size of the control is not adjusted by the Move command, the control will move correctly.
