 Last reviewed: April 30, 1996
Article ID: Q130351
The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows, version 3.0

SYMPTOMS

When the Movable Property of a form is set to False (.F.) in design mode, the form cannot be moved from its current location.

CAUSE

While you are creating a form with the Form Designer, the form is considered "live." This means that visual and behavioral changes are reflected immediately in the design mode of the form as well as during run time.

WORKAROUND

Add all the controls for the form first before setting the properties that will control the behavior of the form.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.

MORE INFORMATION

The following steps illustrate the effects of setting the Movable property for the form in design mode.

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

  1. Create a form.

  2. Set the Movable property to .F..

  3. Try to move the form while in design mode.
