When inserting multiple buttons on a toolbar with the wrappable property set to
TRUE, only the first row of buttons is displayed when the program is run.

WORKAROUND
==========

Place the following code in the form load event.

     Private Sub Form_Load()
      form1.show
      form1.refresh
     End Sub

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the
beginning of this article. This bug has been fixed in Visual Basic 5.0.

MORE INFORMATION
================

Steps to Reproduce the Problem
------------------------------

1. Start Visual Basic or from the File menu, choose New Project (ALT, F, N).

2. Add a toolbar to the form.

3. Choose the (Custom) entry in the Properties window.

4. Insert 3 buttons from the ToolBar Control Properties dialog box.

5. Set the Wrappable property to True.

6. Re-size the form so that the buttons are wrapped.

7. Run the program.

Results: Only the first row of buttons is displayed.

Resizing the form will allow all buttons to be displayed. Of course, the form's
borderstyle must not be fixed.
