PRB: Sizebox Property Has Different Value in FoxPro for Mac

• Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Macintosh, version 3.0b

SYMPTOMS

When a form is transported from Visual FoxPro for Windows to Visual FoxPro for Macintosh, the value of the SizeBox property, which is false (.F.) in Visual FoxPro for Windows, becomes true (.T.).

CAUSE

The property is not explicitly set. The default value for the SizeBox property on the Windows platform is false (.F.). On the Macintosh, this default value is true (.T.). When a property is not changed interactively, it takes the default value for the current platform. However, most properties have the same default value in Windows and on the Macintosh platform.

RESOLUTION

If you explicitly set the properties of a form, the values you select do not change when you transport the form across platforms.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.

MORE INFORMATION

Other properties of a form that have a different default value across platforms include properties that conform to a different standard. For example:

Property     Default value in Windows 95   Default value on the Macintosh

BackColor    Default Windows color scheme  222,222,222
FontName     Arial                         Geneva
SizeBox      .F.                            .T.
