FIX: Disabled Page in a Pageframe Shows Objects with Arrow Key

• Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows, version 5.0

SYMPTOMS

If a page in a pageframe is disabled (grayed out) in Visual FoxPro 5.0 and the arrow keys are used to move from an active page to the disabled page, all items in the disabled page will show through on the pageframe even though the page is disabled. The ActivePage property will show that the page that was active before trying to move to the disabled page is still the active page, but the objects shown on the pageframe will be the contents of the disabled page. In Visual FoxPro 3.0, the arrow keys could not be used to move through the pages of a pageframe.

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 5.0a.

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

2. Add a label to each page of the pageframe and change the Caption of the label to the name of each page.

3. Select Page 2 of the pageframe and change the Enabled Property to False.

4. Run the form and move through the pages of the pageframe with the left or right arrow keys. Note that the label of page 2 shows through even though the page is disabled.
