SYMPTOMS
The Menu Design window, used to create pull-down menus for Visual Basic forms, is a modal dialog box. Therefore, clicking any other Visual Basic window when the Menu Design window is visible should fail to transfer the focus and should generate a beep to notify you that you cannot act outside the dialog box. However, in Windows version 3.0, there is no beep when you click the Visual Basic form.

All other Visual Basic windows, such as the ToolBox, Color Palette, Project Window, and the main Visual Basic menu bar all respond with a beep when the Menu Design window is active -- as they should. In all cases, focus is maintained by the Menu Design window -- as it should be.



RESOLUTION
This problem does not occur in Windows version 3.1.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article when using Windows version 3.0. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
