Hello,
User complains, that Vista cuts bottom of my app GUI and he cannot accress controls placed in there.
In my Vista, only the edge is cut and I can access the controls at the bottom.
What is the cause of that problem and how to redesign GUI ?

If none of the other respones solves the problem then there is an issue in VB that can cause a strip of the form to not be displayed. I don't remember how to cause it but it has something to do with VB not allowing room for the menu bar so while the menu is shown OK at the top a strip at the bottom the same height as the menu is missing.

The workaround is to open the code in the IDE, open the form in question so that you can see it and then compile. If you compile with the form designer window closed it can sometimes do it wrong.

I've had this happen on at least Win2K and possibly Win9x systems although it's been a while since I last saw it


I found a thread about the problem
http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.vb.general.discussion/browse_thread/thread/aee41ac4fe37ce82/094a56323c8cafd0?lnk=st&q=vb+form+menu+bar+cut+off&rnum=1#094a56323c8cafd0

Unfortunately it reminded me that I only ever saw the problem in the IDE; compiled apps were fine.
....Nevermind...
