Control Notes
When opening a toolbar in the configuration utility that was saved in a previous build of the control, the toolbars will be shifted to the right or down. You will have to move the toolbars back to the correct position before saving.
If you are experiencing problems using the help system under VB 5.0 you will need to apply the VB 5.0 service pack 2 or greater to fix it.
For more detailed information, consult the Known Control Issues section of the help file.
