SYMPTOMS
If a status bar is placed on a form in Microsoft Visual Basic, and if the height of the status bar is made larger than the height of the SizeGrip, the SizeGrip incorrectly paints in the upper-right corner of the status bar when it should stay in the lower corner of the bar.

This only applies when running under WINDOWS NT 3.5x.



RESOLUTION
There is no workaround to this problem other than avoiding it by keeping the status bar the same height as the SizeGrip.

Steps to Reproduce Problem

 * 1) Start a new project in Microsoft Visual Basic. Form1 is created by default.
 * 2) Draw a Statusbar on the form and make it very high.

Notice that the SizeGrip is painted in the upper right hand corner of the bar. This behavior does not change when the project is run.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be an issue in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. Microsoft is researching this issue and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
