PRB: WAIT WINDOW Will Not Terminate with Outline Control

• Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows, versions 3.0 and 3.0b

SYMPTOMS

When you use an Outline Control, the WAIT WINDOW will not deactivate when a navigation key is pressed (keyboard or mouse).

WORKAROUND

Click outside the outline control to deactivate WAIT WINDOW or select a key other than keys used to navigate in the outline control (arrow keys, PGUP, or PGDN).

STATUS

Microsoft is researching this behavior and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

1. Create a new form, and drop an OLE Container Control onto the form. Select Insert Control for the OLE Container and Outline Control for the Control Type.

2. Add Vfp\Samples\Data\Customer.dbf to the Data Environment, and set the Order property of the Customer cursor to CONTACT.

3. In the form's Init event, place this code:

   ****** Begin INIT ******

   SELECT Customer GO TOP FOR lnI=1 to RECCOUNT()

        THISFORM.OLECONTROL1.ADDITEM(contact,lnI)
        THISFORM.OLECONTROL1.INDENT(lnI)=1
        SKIP
   

   ENDFOR THISFORM.REFRESH

   ******* End INIT *******

4. Inside the Outline control's DBLCLICK event, type:

   WAIT WINDOW

5. Run the form. Double-click any item inside the outline control. The Wait Window will not deactivate. You can move up and down the outline control list by using either the keyboard or mouse controls and the Wait window will still be active. You must select outside the outline control to deactivate the WAIT WINDOW.
