Steps to Reproduce Behavior

Create a new standard Visual Basic project. Form1 is create by default.

Add the MSHFlexGrid to the Visual Basic toolbox.

Place an MSHFlexGrid and two CommandButtons on the form.

Add the following code to your application:


Private Sub Command1_Click()
    MSHFlexGrid1.AddItem "Hello"
End Sub

Private Sub Command2_Click()
    MSHFlexGrid1.RemoveItem MSHFlexGrid1.Rows - 1
End Sub

Private Sub Form_Load()
    Command1.Caption = "AddItem"
    Command2.Caption = "RemoveItem"
End Sub

Run the project

Click the "Command1" button three times to add three rows.

Click the "Command2" button three times to remove the three rows.

Click the "Command1" button three times again to add back the three rows.

If you're using the MSHFlexGrid prior to the version that shipped with Visual Basic 6.0 Service Pack 3, you won't see the second batch of rows created by clicking the AddItem button.

With the version of MSHFlexGrid that shipped with Visual Basic 6.0 Service Pack 3, this problem does not occur.
