BUG: Small Left Grid Partition Leaves Scroll Bar Remnants

• Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Macintosh, version 3.0b

SYMPTOMS

When partitioning a grid object, remnants of the vertical scroll bar appear outside of the grid on the left side. This may happen when the size of the left partition of a grid is changed manually or if the partition size is changed programmatically. In either case, this will happen if the left partition is small, about 1/8 of an inch.

RESOLUTION

The only known workaround is to hide the form and then unhide it. For instance, the following code could be placed in a Command button on the form that the grid is on:

   ThisForm.Visible=.F.
   ThisForm.Visible=.T.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

MORE INFORMATION

The Partition property of a grid splits it into two panels if the property is set to a number greater than zero. The number specifies where the grid is split relative to the left edge of the grid.

Steps to Reproduce Problem

1. Type the following commands in the Visual FoxPro Command window:

   OPEN DATA HOME()+"Samples:Data:Testdata" CREATE FORM

2. Add the Customer table from the Testdata database to the data environment of the form.

3. With the form's data environment still open, grab the table's Titlebar and drag it onto the new form to create a grid.

4. Resize the form and grid as appropriate.

5. Set the Partition property of the grid to 10.

6. Save and run the form. Note the portion of the vertical Scrollbar outside of the grid on the left side. Resize the partition so the left side is larger by using the mouse and the thick black bar in the bottom left of the grid. Note that the scroll bar remnants remain.

7. Click the Visual FoxPro desktop to hide the form. Then reselect the form from the bottom of the Window menu. Note that the scroll bar remnants are gone.
