PRB: ScrollBars Appear Incorrectly in Run-Mode (180391)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft eMbedded Visual Basic 3.0
  • Microsoft Windows CE Toolkit for Visual Basic 5.0
This article was previously published under Q180391

SYMPTOMS

When you place a horizontal or vertical ScrollBar on a form and make it small, the ScrollBar may either appear or not appear with arrows, depending on the size of the control and the device that is targeted.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.

MORE INFORMATION

This behavior occurs because of the way that Windows CE handles the painting of the control.

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

  1. Create a new Windows CE project in eMbedded Visual Basic or Visual Basic 6.0. Form1 is created by default.
  2. Add a Vertical ScrollBar to Form1.
  3. Add the following code to Form1: 
          Private Sub Form_Load()
         VScroll1.Height = 450
      End Sub
  4. Press F5 to run the project, and note that no arrows appear in the ScrollBar.
  5. Change the code above to read: 
         Private Sub Form_Load()
           VScroll1.Height = 250
     End Sub
  6. Press F5 to run the project, and note that the ScrollBar is longer drawn on the form.
