When you use the Move method of the Spin control, the control may not move
if it is invisible.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be an issue in the Microsoft products
listed at the beginning of this article.
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, issue the Move command twice. For example,
instead of writing:
SpinButton1.Move 0,0,200,200
use the following code to move the control if it is invisible:
SpinButton1.Move 0,0,200,200
SpinButton1.Move 0,0,200,200
If the size of the control remains unchanged, the command only needs to be
issued once.
Steps To Reproduce Problem- Start a new project. Form1 is created by default.
- Place an OutRider SpinButton control on the form. From the Tools menu,
select the Custom Controls menu option, and then select the Outrider
SpinButton.
- In the Form_Click event, place the following code:
Private Sub Form_Click()
SpinButton1.Visible = False
SpinButton1.Move 0, 0, 200, 200
SpinButton1.Visible = True
End Sub
Run the program by pressing F5, and notice that the control re-sizes but
does not move to the upper left hand corner of the client area of the Form.
MORE INFORMATION
In general, this problem is encountered when the size and the position of
the control are adjusted. If the size of the control is not adjusted by the
Move command, the control will move correctly.
