PRB: Changing Caption on Title Label Leaves Shadow Unmodified
'Article ID: Q91709

Creation Date: 03-NOV-1992

Revision Date: 19-SEP-1996' The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Access versions 1.0, 1.1, 2.0

SYMPTOMS

Novice: Requires knowledge of the user interface on single-user computers.

Changing the Caption on the title label leaves the shadow of the original title bar present. This occurs when creating a form with any Form Wizard (other than Graph) using Embossed View.

STATUS

This behavior is by design. There are two labels associated with this caption. The shadow is really another separate label that gives the impression of a shadow.

This behavior no longer occurs in Microsoft Access for Windows 95. The shadow effect is now achieved by setting the SpecialEffect property to Shadowed. Because the shadow effect is no longer a separate label, it doesn't have to be sized separately.

MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Behavior


 * 1) Create a new form using any Form Wizard, except Graph.
 * 2) Select Embossed as the View for the form.
 * 3) Open the form in Design view.
 * 4) Select the title and change the Caption to something shorter than the current title.
 * 5) Change to a smaller point size to make the shadow more visible.
 * 6) Switch to Form view.

In order to use the Embossed View and the new title correctly, you must also select the shadow and change it.
