SYMPTOMS

Attempting to change the "RightToLeft" property of either a Horizontal or Vertical ScrollBar control to True generates an "Out Of Memory" error.

CAUSE

The RightToLeft property is a design feature in localized Arabic and Hebrew versions of Visual Basic 6.0 and should have no effect in other language versions. The above error can be ignored in non-Arabic and non-Hebrew language versions.

STATUS

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

Create a new Standard EXE project in Visual Basic. Form1 is created by default.
Place either a Horizontal or Vertical ScrollBar control on Form1.
Click the control and press the F4 key to bring up the Property Window.
Change the value of "RightToLeft" from False to True. This results in an "Out Of Memory" error. Further attempts to set the property will result in the same error.

NOTE: In Visual Basic 5.0, any attempt to set the RightToLeft property of either the Horizontal or Vertical ScrollBar control will be ignored instead of generating an error.
