Steps to Reproduce Behavior

  1. Create a form and add an ActiveX Control (OLE Control) to the form.
  2. Add the WLList control, version 6.0 to the OLE container.
  3. Right-click the OLE Container and choose WLList Properties.
  4. In the List Properties dialog box, change the Appearance property to 0-wlFlat and then click Apply.
  5. Note that a ghost image of the control appears inside the Properties dialog box. Click OK.
  6. Press the ALT+TAB keys to cycle through the running applications. A Windows-type icon appears on the Task bar. However, no description appears after you select the icon.
