BUG: Pages of PageFrame Created with AddObject Method Invisible

ID: Q180495


The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Macintosh, version 3.0b
  • Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows, versions 3.0, 3.0b, 5.0, 5.0a, 6.0


SYMPTOMS

When using a multirow pageframe object, the currently selected page, pages on the same row, and controls contained on the selected page are not visible. This behavior only occurs when the TabStretch property of a pageframe is set to 0 - Multiple Rows.


CAUSE

When you add pages to a pageframe object using the AddObject method, Visual FoxPro may not correctly determine how the pages should display.


RESOLUTION

When you add pages to a pageframe object using the AddObject method, force recalculation of the page display by setting the TabStretch property of the pageframe to the existing TabStretch property value as shown below:


   pageform.pageframe1.TabStretch=pageform.pageframe1.TabStretch 


STATUS

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

            lcpagename = "Page" + ALLTRIM(STR(pageform.pageframe1.PAGECOUNT+1))
            pageform.pageframe1.ADDOBJECT(lcpagename,"Page")
            pageform.pageframe1.ACTIVEPAGE=pageform.pageframe1.PAGECOUNT
            lcpageadd="PageForm.PageFrame1."+lcpagename+ ;
               ".AddObject('TextBox1','TextBoxa')"
            &lcpageadd
            pageform.REFRESH
          ENDDO
