PRB: AselObj() Doesn't Work for Objects Added in Grid Columns

ID: Q131601

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows, version 3.0

SYMPTOMS

AselObj() reports that nothing is selected when the currently selected object is a control that has been added to a grid column. AselObj() reports that the currently selected object's container is the grid rather than the column.

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 form called Test. Add a grid to the form and set the

   ColumnCount property to 1.

2. Use the properties sheet to select Column1 of the grid.

3. Drop a check box into the column. The properties sheet should now show

   that the check box is the currently selected object.

4. Click the Command window, and type the following lines of code:

      x=ASELOBJ(y)    && Reference to selected object
      ?x              && Number of selected objects

    The number 0 is displayed when the expected value of x is 1.

5. Type the following in the Command window:

      c=ASELOBJ(d,1) &&reference to selected object's container
      ?c

   Now the number 1 (the expected value) is displayed. However, the
   reference to the selected object's container is incorrect as shown by
   this command:

      ?d[1].name

   Grid1 is displayed when Column1 is the expected value.
