FIX: ActiveX Control Incorrectly Reports ScaleWidth/ScaleHeight (171492)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Visual Basic Learning Edition for Windows 5.0
- Microsoft Visual Basic Professional Edition for Windows 5.0
- Microsoft Visual Basic Enterprise Edition for Windows 5.0
- Microsoft PowerPoint 97 for Windows
This article was previously published under Q171492 SYMPTOMS
When using an ActiveX control created in Visual Basic 5.0 in Microsoft
PowerPoint 97, the ScaleWidth and ScaleHeight of the control are changed
after going to "Slide Show" mode and back.
CAUSE
PowerPoint 97 zooms the control's window when the slide is displayed, even
if Zoom is set to 100%. Because ScaleWidth and ScaleHeight are based on the
size of the control's window, and PowerPoint doesn't resize this window
back to the control's extents when the control gets deactivated, the window
retains its "zoomed" size until explicitly resized. In all containers that
don't zoom, these values are always identical and do not exhibit this
problem.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed
at the beginning of this article. This bug has been fixed in Visual Studio
97 Service Pack 2.
