PRB: Can't Tile or Cascade Programs Created with Visual Basic (73698)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Visual Basic Standard Edition for Windows 1.0
- Microsoft Visual Basic Standard Edition for Windows 2.0
- Microsoft Visual Basic Standard Edition for Windows 3.0
- Microsoft Windows 3.0
This article was previously published under Q73698 SYMPTOMS
Applications created with Microsoft Visual Basic do not tile or cascade as
do other Windows-based applications.
CAUSE
Visual Basic creates applications that are pop-up windows. This window
style does not respond to the tile or cascade message sent from the Windows
Task List or other applications that support the cascade and tile features.
STATUS
This behavior is by design.
MORE INFORMATION
You can verify this action by launching two applications created in Visual
Basic, then bringing up the Windows Task List by pressing CTRL+ESC. Then
from the Task List, choose either the Cascade or Tile button. Notice that
nothing has changed in the arrangements of these two Visual Basic
application windows. You may have expected the Visual Basic application
windows to cascade or tile as other Windows applications do, but they do
not.
