CommandBar showtext bug
Posted: Sunday, October 29, 2006 1:03 PM (EST)

There are some issues with CommandBars/CommandButtons. One work around for your issue is to set the style initially to 9, and then change it back to 8 after you create the whole form.

This is a known bug. You can work around this by toggling the "showtext" property between 0 and 1. This turns off and on the display of button caption text and causes a proper layout.
