BUG: Custom Control Properties Can Lose Values At Design Time

ID: Q95742

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Visual Basic Standard and Professional Editions for MS-DOS, version 1.0

SYMPTOMS

The following properties in a custom control do not retain their values at design time when you leave the Form Designer (FD.EXE) and then return or when you move from designing to running the application:

Drive
FileName
Path
SelText
Text

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in Microsoft Visual Basic version 1.0 for MS-DOS. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

MORE INFORMATION

These properties must be treated as runtime properties only, within a custom control.

This problem only occurs if the form that contains the custom control is saved in Binary format (Default). If the form is saved in ASCII Text format, the problem does not occur.
