VB6: CoolBar Height
I am using Visual Basic 6.0 (not the beta or technology preview). I have a coolbar control with a toolbar contol in the first band and a text box in the second band. When I start my application, the height for the first band gets changed to something way out of proportion. It gets something like 5 times taller than it needs to be.
Has anyone seen this problem or know how to fix it?

The text below comes from the VB 6 documentation concerning the coolbar control:
Some controls may not behave as expected when contained within a CoolBar control. For example, a contained Toolbar control won’t paint properly when its Wrappable property is set to True and the CoolBar is resized. To avoid this problem, set the Wrappable property to False.
I have done as the above note suggests and still notice problems. For instance, if I change the toolbar at runtime to include text messages on the buttons, the coolbar band will not resize. I have found no way to force the coolbar into resizing.
If you ask me, this control is buggy and needs work. . .

PS - You received good instead of excellent because although you were able to identify the source of my problems as being the toolbar, you were unable to point specifically to the wrappable property.
