SYMPTOMS
Attempting to change the "RightToLeft" property of either a Horizontal or Vertical ScrollBar control to True generates an "Out Of Memory" error.



CAUSE
The RightToLeft property is a design feature in localized Arabic and Hebrew versions of Visual Basic 6.0 and should have no effect in other language versions. The above error can be ignored in non-Arabic and non-Hebrew language versions.



STATUS
Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.



Steps to Reproduce Behavior

 * 1) Create a new Standard EXE project in Visual Basic. Form1 is created by default.
 * 2) Place either a Horizontal or Vertical ScrollBar control on Form1.
 * 3) Click the control and press the F4 key to bring up the Property Window.
 * 4) Change the value of "RightToLeft" from False to True. This results in an "Out Of Memory" error. Further attempts to set the property will result in the same error.

NOTE: In Visual Basic 5.0, any attempt to set the RightToLeft property of either the Horizontal or Vertical ScrollBar control will be ignored instead of generating an error.
