The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows, versions 3.0, 3.0b, 5.0, 5.0a, 6.0
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SYMPTOMS
========
Toolbar options are inaccessible because they are positioned too far to the
right and off the screen.
CAUSE
=====
Visual FoxPro's toolbar engine is designed to check if any portion of a toolbar
will fit on the current row, if not, it opens a new row. Visual FoxPro does not
check to see if an entire toolbar will be visual to the user when docked.
WORKAROUND
==========
Visual FoxPro toolbars are moveable and dockable. Position or dock the toolbar
in another location on the screen, or change the video driver setting to a
higher video resolution so that a larger portion of the toolbar will be visible
to the user when docked.
NOTE: The following command positions the toolbar in the center of the FoxPro
desktop only if the toolbar is not docked. It will not move the toolbar if it is
docked:
MOVE WINDOW "<toolbar name>" CENTER
STATUS
======
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at
the beginning of this article. We are researching this problem and will post new
information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
