PRB: Last Line in a Method Doesn't Update Variables in Debug

 Last reviewed: August 16, 1995
Article ID: Q134979
The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows, version 3.0

SYMPTOMS

If the last line of any form method is a variable assignment, the debug window doesn't refresh the variable assignment value.

STATUS

This behavior is by design. This is expected behavior because all local variables are destroyed right after the method scope is lost.

RESOLUTION

Create a form property that has the same variable name.

MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

  1. Create a new form.

  2. Place the following code in the Init procedure of the form:

    WAIT WINDOW "Variable assignment" NOWAIT nMyVeriable=12

  3. Save the form as MyForm.scx.

  4. Open the debug window, and place the nMyVeriable variable in the left side of the debug window.

  5. Type the following in the Command window:

    DO FORM MyForm.SCX
