BUG: Form Ignores the Height Change of a Form Template

Article ID: 189722

Article Last Modified on 12/11/1999

APPLIES TO

This article was previously published under Q189722

SYMPTOMS

A form created from a form template ignores changes made in the Height property.

RESOLUTION

In the form's Init method, programmatically set the Height property. For example, add the following line to the form's Init event: 
   This.Height=275

STATUS

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

MORE INFORMATION

Form templates allow the use of a standardize form design to reduce development time of similar forms.

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

  1. Create a form class with the following properties:

    Height = 173
    MaxHeight = 200

  2. Choose the Tools menu pad and the Options menu bar. Select the Forms tab and set the form template class to the new form class created in step 1.
  3. Create a new form and change the default MaxHeight property to 300 and the Height property to 275. Save and run the form. Note that the Height is not the same as it was in the Designer.
  4. Modify the form and verify that the Height is 173 rather than 275 (to which the Height was changed).
