-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Windows CE Toolkit for Visual Basic 6.0, version 1.0 
- Microsoft eMbedded Visual C++ version 3.0, on platform(s):
   - Microsoft Windows CE versions 2.11, 3.0 for the Handheld PC 
   - Microsoft Windows CE version 2.11 for the Palm-size PC 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

Clicking the Close button of a Commandbar when the Commandbar is inside a frame
does not close the application. Instead, the frame (and its contents) is no
longer visible on the form.

RESOLUTION
==========

Avoid putting the Commandbar control in the Frame control.

STATUS
======

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

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

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

1. Create a new Windows CE project in either Visual Basic or eMbedded Visual
  Basic. Form1 is created by default.

2. Select Components from the Project menu and select the Microsoft CE
  CommandBar Control.

3. Add a Frame control to Form1 and place it in the middle of the form.

4. Add a CommandBar control to Frame1.

5. Run the project in either emulation or on the remote device.

6. Click the Close button on the CommandBar control, and note that the frame is
  no longer visible, but the application is still open. The expected behavior
  is that clicking the Close button would close the application.
