FIX: Label Caption Longer Than 255 Characters Causes GPF

ID: Q159269

The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows, version 5.0

SYMPTOMS

Visual FoxPro 5.0 causes a General Protection Fault (GPF) when the caption property of a Label is set more than 255 characters.


WORKAROUND

Set the caption property of a Label to something less than 255 characters.


STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.


MORE INFORMATION

This behavior happens only in Visual FoxPro 5.0; it works as expected in Visual FoxPro 3.0 or 3.0b.

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

  1. Create a Form and place a Label on it.


  2. In the INIT method of the form, put in the following code: 
    
      ThisForm.Label1.Caption = Replicate("X",256)


  3. Save and run the form.


NOTE: Visual FoxPro terminates immediately when the form runs. (Generally the fault is an "Invalid Page Fault.")
