FIX: Overflow in VB Drawing Circle Segment w/ Radius of Zero

ID: Q73280

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Visual Basic Standard and Professional Editions for Windows, version 2.0
Microsoft Visual Basic programming system for Windows, version 1.0

SYMPTOMS

When using the Circle statement to draw a segment of a circle with a radius of 0, an "Overflow" error incorrectly occurs.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Visual Basic programming system for Windows, versions 1.0 and 2.0. This problem was corrected in version 3.0.

MORE INFORMATION

The following statement demonstrates the problem:

Circle (0,0), 0,, 4, 5

When you run the above statement, an "Overflow" error incorrectly occurs.

In contrast, using the Circle statement to draw an entire circle of radius 0 works correctly without an error (correctly drawing nothing); for example:

Circle (0,0), 0
