BUG: StatusBar Ctrl Does Not Show Size Grip in Top-Level Form (163245)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows 5.0
- Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows 5.0a
- Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows 6.0
This article was previously published under Q163245 SYMPTOMS
A Microsoft StatusBar control on a top-level form does not display the size
grip--the three diagonal lines at the lower left of the status bar. Windows
95 interface standards state that top-level forms should have size grips if
they are resizable. A top-level form is resizable by definition.
When used on a form with the ShowWindow property set to other than 2 - As
Top-Level Form, the StatusBar does not display the size grip. But this is
not a Windows 95 specification for 0 - In Screen, or 1 - In Top-level Form
forms.
CAUSE
The StatusBar control is a member of Comctl32.dll. At the time Visual
FoxPro for Windows, version 5.0 was released, the StatusBar control did
display a size grip on a top-level form.
Several other Microsoft developer's products that have been released
subsequently replace the Comctl32.dll that was installed with Visual
FoxPro 5.0.
When placed in the OLE Container Control on a Visual FoxPro 5.0 form, the
StatusBar control that is in the later version of Comctl32.dll does not
exhibit the size grip, although the form can be resized by grabbing the
lower-right corner with the mouse pointer.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed
at the beginning of this article.
