FIX: Class Browser: Multiple Control Boxes with Maximized .VCX

The information in this article applies to:

• Professional Edition of Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows, versions 3.0, 3.0b

SYMPTOMS

Maximizing the Visual Class Designer and then starting it again from the Class Browser produces multiple Control boxes and Restore buttons.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. This problem has been fixed in Visual FoxPro 5.0 for Windows.

MORE INFORMATION

The Visual Class Designer is invoked from the Class Browser when you double- click a class name. If you maximize the Class Designer window, switch back to the Class Browser, and open the Visual Class Designer with another class, the second window is maximized as well. However, the Microsoft Visual FoxPro window will have two Visual Class Designer Control boxes and two Restore buttons.

Steps to Reproduce Problem

1. Open a .vcx file and double-click a class.

2. Maximize the Class Designer window, and switch back to the Class Browser.

3. Double-click the same class, or another one. Multiple control boxes and Restore buttons (and Close buttons under Windows 95) appear.
