PRB: Error Performing DODEFAULT Function on Base Class Method

ID: Q169111


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


SYMPTOMS

An error occurs when performing a DODEFAULT function on a Visual FoxPro base class KeyPress method.


STATUS

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


MORE INFORMATION

An error occurs when performing a DODEFAULT function to a Visual FoxPro base class method. The DODEFAULT function appears to be referencing an object other than the one in which it is running.

In the code below, the DODEFAULT code is located in the KEYPRESS method of a Form. Pressing the TAB key when the cursor is in the first TextBox of the sample below causes the VALID method of the TextBox to execute but the VALID method of Form appears to be running in addition to the TextBox VALID and a "Property VALUE is not found" error occurs. The Form object does not have a VALUE property. Suspending the program after the error occurs and checking the value of "THIS" verifies that the object reference is the Form rather than the TextBox.

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

  1. Run the sample code below and press the TAB key to move to the next object.

          frmTestForm = CREATEOBJECT("MyForm")
