Bug in PushButton Control

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Setting the MultiLine property to true while the PushButton control is not visible forces the control to become visible even though the control property visible is still set to false.  When dynamically building a form with buttons on it, I had to work around the issue by moving the control off the form before setting the MultiLine property, and then move it back into view.   In my case I layout the form dynamically and the buttons are invisible until the program needs that particular button to be available to the user.  Before applying this workaround all my buttons were visible even though the visible property was still set to false, and the culprit was configuring the MultiLine property at runtime while the button was hidden.
The problem
Button(Index).Visible = False
Button(Index).MultiLine = true    ' this appears to be a control bug, setting this value forces the button to become visible again
Button(Index).Visible = False   ' button is still visible 
Button(Index).Visible = True    
Button(Index).Visible = False   ' now the button is invisible
The workaround

OldTop = Button(Index).Top
OldLeft = Button(Index).Left
Button(Index).Move -1000, -1000		' move button off screen
Button(Index).Visible = True		' make it visible
Button(Index).MultiLine = true     	' set multiline property
Button(Index).Visible = False		' make it invisible
Button(index).Move OldLeft, OldTop	' move it back onto the screen
