Re: Vista cuts bottom of my form



Yes, I had that problem in IDE for years.
Interestingly, after changing many times computers and Windows, sometimes I
had that problem and sometimes not.
Run-time and compiled exe never show that problem.
I have never investigated the cause of that problem.
I am using vbasic5 SP3.

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
