3.00 3.00b WINDOWS kbprg kbprb

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows, versions 3.0 and 3.0b

SYMPTOMS

Changing the PageOrder property of a page to a value higher than the PageCount property will trigger the error "Expression evaluated to an illegal value."

WORKAROUND

The PageOrder property should not be greater than the value of the pageframe's PageCount property.

STATUS

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

1. Create a new form.

2. Add a pageframe to the form.

3. Set the PageCount property of the pageframe to 0.

4. Create a new program file that contains the following code:

   SET PROCEDURE TO <this program>
   DO FORM <form name>
   _SCREEN.FORMS(1).PAGEFRAME1.ADDOBJECT("Page1","Page1")
   _SCREEN.FORMS(1).PAGEFRAME1.ADDOBJECT("Page2","Page1")
   _SCREEN.FORMS(1).REFRESH

   DEFINE CLASS Page1 AS PAGE
   ADD OBJECT command1 AS COMMANDBUTTON
   ENDDEFINE

5. Run the program. A form with two pages should appear.

6. In the Command window, type:

    _SCREEN.FORMS(1).PAGEFRAME1.PAGE1.PAGEORDER=3

   The error "Expression evaluated to an illegal value" appears

7. In the Command window, type:

    _SCREEN.FORMS(1).PAGEFRAME1.PAGE1.PAGEORDER=2

   No error appears
