    Windows 8 and Multi-select

    So I'm running the IDE under Windows 8. Everything seems to be working reasonably well. Just one tiny problem. When I have a form with 2 buttons on it, if I select one button I can tell which one is selected and drag it around no problem. If I select TWO buttons neither appears to be selected. But if I drag one button around the other one moves too so I know they are both selected.

    Any ideas?

    What type of buttons?
    How do you select those buttons?
    Can you also show us your actual code?

    I have no clue what you're trying to do...

    This is a problem under windows 7 too. If I turn off themes it works as it should (Select windows classic in the Screen options). Have not had time to try this in 8 yet though.
    It does not make a difference if you run VB6.EXE with or without a manifest file (to get the theming). To me it's a minor issue though so I haven't been bothered by it.
