## SYMPTOMS

If you assign a new caption to a bound 3D panel control, the field is not changed when the data control updates.

## CAUSE

The 3D panel control does not change the DataChanged property. However, the Visual Basic label control does not demonstrate this behavior. When using the label control, you will see that the field will change when the data control updates.

## WORKAROUND

To work around the problem, you can set the DataChanged property to true for the 3D panel after changing the caption. For Example:

       Panel3D1.Caption = "Changed"
       Panel3D1.DataChanged = True

## STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in Visual Basic version 3.0 for Windows. This problem has been corrected in Visual Basic version 4.0.

## MORE INFORMATION

### Steps to Reproduce Problem

1. Start a new project in Visual Basic. Form1 is created by default.
2. Add a Data control (Data1), Panel 3D control (Panel3D1), and a Command button (Command1) to Form1, setting their properties as indicated in the following table:

          Control        Property        Value
          ------------------------------------------------
          Data1          DatabaseName    C:\VB\BILIO.MDB
                         RecordSource    Authors
          Panel3D1       DataSource      Data1
                         DataField       Author
          Command1

3. Add the following code to the Command1 click event:

          Sub Command1_Click ()
             Panel3D1.Caption = "Changed"
          End Sub

4. Run the program or press the F5 key.
5. Click the Command1 button. The 3D panel caption will change.
6. Move to the next record by using the data control.
7. Move back to the previous record by using the data control.

The caption of the 3D panel will hold the original data from the database.
