BUG: Container in Grid Column Fires Wrong Event

Last reviewed: April 24, 1997
Article ID: Q162254
The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows, versions 3.0, 3.0b, 5.0, 5.0a

SYMPTOMS

If a grid column text object is replaced with a container object, methods fire incorrectly. Specifically, when the column gets focus, the GotFocus() method does not fire. When the column loses focus, the LostFocus method fires twice.

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

Steps to Reproduce Problem

  1. Place the following code in a program called Colfocus.prg:

    * Begin ColFocus.prg

    CLEAR ALL CLEAR CLOSE ALL USE HOME()+ "SAMPLES\DATA\EMPLOYEE"

    *-- Create a form MyForm=CREATEOBJECT("Form") WITH MyForm

          .AutoCenter= .T.
    
          .WindowType=1       && Modal
          .AddObject("Edit1", "EditBox")
          WITH .Edit1
            .Visible=.T.
            .Height= 23
            .Width= MyForm.Width
            .Value="Column3.Container.GotFocus() never fires"
          ENDWITH
    
          *-- Add a Grid
          .AddObject("Grid1", "Grid")
          WITH .Grid1
             .Top=40
             .Visible= .T.
             .ColumnCount=2
    
             *-- Add a container to a column
             .AddObject("Column3", "Column")
             .Column3.RemoveObject("Text1")
             .Column3.AddObject("Container1", "MyContainer")
             .Column3.Visible= .T.
             .Column3.Container1.Visible=.T.
          ENDWITH
          .SHOW()
       ENDWITH
    
       *-- GotFocus() and LostFocus() container
       DEFINE CLASS MyContainer as Container
         BackColor=RGB(255,0,0)
         BackStyle=1
    
         PROCEDURE GotFocus
           ACTIVATE SCREEN
           ?" In GotFocus of Column 3"
         ENDPROC
    
         PROCEDURE LostFocus
           ACTIVATE SCREEN
           ?"In LostFocus of Column 3 "
         ENDPROC
    
       ENDDEFINE
    
       * End ColFocus.prg
    
    

  2. Run ColFocus.prg.

  3. When the Form appears, tab or arrow over to Column 3 of the grid. NOTE: The GotFocus() method of Column 3 does not fire.

  4. Move off of Column 3. NOTE: The LostFocus() method of Column 3 fires twice.
