MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Problem

On an EGA system:

  1. Run Visual Basic, or from the File menu, choose New Project (ALT, F, N) if Visual Basic is already running. Form1 is created by default.
  2. From the File menu, choose Add File. In the Files box, select the ANIBUTON.VBX custom control file. The Animated Button tool appears in the toolbox.
  3. Create a default Animated Button control by double-clicking the animated tool in the toolbox.
  4. Set the following properties from the Properties Bar:

    FontName = Modern (or Roman)
    FontSize = 8
    FontUnderline = True

Notice that the caption is not underlined as it is on a VGA system. If the FontSize is changed to a larger size, the underline will appear. The underline will also appear on fonts other than Roman or Modern.
