ClipArt Gallery Scroll Bar Becomes Inactive

 Last reviewed: September 9, 1996
Article ID: Q119773
The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft ClipArt Gallery version 1.1

SYMPTOMS

The scroll bar in the ClipArt Gallery viewer does not respond to mouse clicks immediately following a Find command in which no matching pictures are found.

RESOLUTION

You can re-activate the scroll bar by choosing another category and then your desired category as follows:

  1. In the Choose A Category To View Below box, select any category except the one that is currently highlighted.

  2. Select the original category.

MORE INFORMATION

When the Find command fails to find a match, the thumbnails remain visible. However, the list of available clip art to scroll through is empty because there is no clip art that matches your query. The scroll bar appears to be frozen. Thumbnails can be selected and imported; however, you have to use the arrow keys or the Page Up and Page Down keys to move up and down the list.

Steps to Reproduce Problem

  1. Open ClipArt Gallery 1.1.

  2. Choose the Find button.

  3. Select the With A Description Containing field and enter a word that does not match any picture (XLRWT for example).

  4. Choose OK.

The following message appears: 

   The ClipArt Gallery couldn't find any matching pictures.
If you click the scroll bar to move down the list of available pictures, nothing happens.
