SYMPTOMS
When inserting multiple buttons on a toolbar with the wrappable property set to TRUE, only the first row of buttons is displayed when the program is run.



WORKAROUND
Place the following code in the form load event. Private Sub Form_Load form1.show form1.refresh End Sub



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. This bug has been fixed in Visual Basic 5.0.



Steps to Reproduce the Problem

 * 1) Start Visual Basic or from the File menu, choose New Project (ALT, F, N).
 * 2) Add a toolbar to the form.
 * 3) Choose the (Custom) entry in the Properties window.
 * 4) Insert 3 buttons from the ToolBar Control Properties dialog box.
 * 5) Set the Wrappable property to True.
 * 6) Re-size the form so that the buttons are wrapped.
 * 7) Run the program.

Results: Only the first row of buttons is displayed.

Resizing the form will allow all buttons to be displayed. Of course, the form's borderstyle must not be fixed.
