SYMPTOMS
========

When you click on a menu item in Design mode, the Click event for that menu item
should always appear in the code window. However, this behavior does not occur
when you access the Property window before clicking a menu item and the
WindowList check box has been clicked for that menu item. The code window
appears, but it is set for the General Declarations section.

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a issue in the Microsoft products listed at
the beginning of this article. We are researching this issue and will post new
information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
