Steps to Reproduce Behavior
---------------------------

1. Created a new Standard EXE project in Microsoft Visual Basic. Form1 is
  created by default.

2. From the Project menu, select Components, select Microsoft Windows Common
  Controls-2 6.0, and click OK.

3. Site a MonthView control onto Form1.

4. Add the following code to Form1's code window:

  Private Sub MonthView1_GetDayBold(ByVal StartDate As Date, ByVal Count As Integer, State() As Boolean)
       Dim i As Integer

       i = mvwSunday
       While i < Count
           State(i - 1) = True
           i = i + 7
       Wend
  End Sub

5. Right-click on MonthView Control and view its properties.

6. Set the MonthRows property to 3.

7. Set the MonthColumns property to 4.

8. Click OK to close the MonthView's property page.

9. Press the F5 key to run the project.

  The first month shown will not have its first Sunday in bold. The last month
  will not have any days set bold. All other months will be displayed as
  expected.
