MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce the Problem

  1. Start Visual Basic or from the File menu, choose New Project (ALT, F, N).
  2. Add a toolbar to the form.
  3. Choose the (Custom) entry in the Properties window.
  4. Insert 3 buttons from the ToolBar Control Properties dialog box.
  5. Set the Wrappable property to True.
  6. Re-size the form so that the buttons are wrapped.
  7. Run the program.
Results: Only the first row of buttons is displayed.

Resizing the form will allow all buttons to be displayed. Of course, the form's borderstyle must not be fixed.
