PRB: "Edit Redo" Not Available for Text Box

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

SYMPTOMS

The Edit Undo and Redo options function differently for a text box and an edit box. A text box operation does not have the Redo option but the Undo option can be used to perform the same function.

STATUS

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

MORE INFORMATION

The Redo Edit option is not available for a text box but is available for an edit box. A text box operation can be redone by selecting Undo from the Edit menu.

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

1. Run the following code:

   
         frmEditRedo=CREATEOBJECT("form")
         frmEditRedo.CAPTION = "Edit Undo/Redo"
         frmEditRedo.ADDOBJECT("txt","textbox")
         frmEditRedo.ADDOBJECT("ed","editbox")
         frmEditRedo.txt.VISIBLE=1
         frmEditRedo.ed.VISIBLE = 1
         frmEditRedo.ed.LEFT = 150
         frmEditRedo.SHOW(1) 




2. Type a letter in the text box and select the Edit menu. Undo is available on the Edit menu and selecting Undo will undo the last entry. Select the Edit menu item again and the Undo option is available but Redo is not available.



3. Type a letter in the edit box and then select the Edit menu. Undo is available, and selecting Undo will undo the last entry. Select the Edit menu item again and the Redo option is available.
