PRODUCT :Microsoft Visual Basic for Windows
PROD/VER:WINDOWS:5.0,6.0;
OPER/SYS:WINDOWS
KEYWORDS:kbVBp500 kbVBp600 kbCtrl

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

 - Microsoft Visual Basic Learning, Professional, and Enterprise Editions
   for Windows, versions 5.0, 6.0
---------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

When you set the FontSize property of a DriveListBox to a small font (that
is, 4 or 5 point), the dropdown list portion of the DriveListBox might not
appear. This might not occur until after the second or third time that you
set the FontSize.

RESOLUTION
==========

If you need to set the FontSize of the DriveListBox to a size smaller than
8 point, use a True Type Font.

STATUS
======

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

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

1. Create a new Standard EXE project. Form1 is created by default.

2. Add a DriveListBox to Form1, Drive1.

3. Add a CommandButton, Command1, to Form1.

4. Add the following code to Command1:

      Private Sub Command1_Click()
          Drive1.FontSize=Drive1.FontSize * .5
      End Sub

5. Run the Project.

6. Click Command1 and then look at the Drive1 drop-down list.

7. If the list portion drops down, click Command1 again. Eventually, the
   list does not drop down.

8. To work around this problem set the Font property of Drive1 to a
   TrueType Font and run the project again.

RESULT: The list does not disappear.
