BUG: Command Group Class Button Movements Not Inherited

ID: Q149108

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows, versions 3.0, 3.0b, 5.0, 5.0a, 6.0

SYMPTOMS

Changes to command button positions made in a class based on CommandGroup are not inherited properly in forms containing that class.

WORKAROUND

Delete the instance of the class from the forms where it is contained. Reinstantiate the class on the form. The changes in command button positions will be displayed.

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. Create a new project in Visual FoxPro called Test.

2. With the Test project maximized, click the Classes tab. Click the New

   button in the Project Manager to create a new class.

3. Enter Cmdtst as the class name. Base the class on CommandGroup, and save

   it in C:\Vfp\Repro.vcx. (This path assumes C: is the current drive and
   Vfp is the Visual FoxPro root directory. This may need to be modified to
   suit individual configurations.)

4. When the Class Designer window appears, drag the border surrounding the

   command group out enough to provide room to reposition command buttons.
   Save the class. The Repro class library should now appear in the Classes
   tab of the Test project.

5. Click the Documents tab in the Test project. With Forms highlighted,

   click the New button in the project manager to create a new form.

6. When the Form Designer window appears, make sure the Form Controls

   toolbar is visible. Click the View Classes button in the Form Controls
   toolbar, and select Add from the menu. Add C:\Vfp\Repro.vcx. The Form
   Controls toolbar should now change so that it contains the Cmdtst
   class. Click the Cmdtst class, and add it to the form.

7. Save the form as REPROTST.

8. Click the Classes tab on the Test project, and modify the Cmdtst class.

   When the Class Designer window appears, select and move one of the
   command buttons in the group to another position inside the border. Move
   the command button enough to be noticeably out of place. Save the class.

9. Click the Documents tab from the Test project, and modify the Reprotst

   form. The change in position made in the class is not inherited by the
   instance of the class on the form.
