APPLIES TO

This article was previously published under Q180761

SYMPTOMS

A line control can be drawn on a frame control at design-time, but it is not visible at run-time.

RESOLUTION

One workaround that affects only horizontal and vertical lines is to use a frame control instead of a line control. The caption property of this frame should be removed.

When creating a horizontal line, set the height of the frame to 90 and the width of the frame to the desired width of the line needed. For vertical lines, set the width of the frame to 15 and the height of the frame to the desired line length.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.
