Steps to Reproduce Behavior

1. Create and run a program with the following code:

   
         oTBar=CREATEOBJECT("mytoolbar")
         oTBar.Show
         READ EVENTS
   
         DEFINE CLASS mytoolbar AS toolbar
   
            Caption = "Toolbar1"
            Height = 109
            Left = 0
            Top = 0
            Width = 110
            Name = "mytoolbar"
   
            ADD OBJECT olecontrol1 AS olecontrol WITH ;
               OLECLASS="MSComCtl2.DTPicker.2",;
               Top = 5, ;
               Left = 5, ;
               Height = 100, ;
               Width = 100, ;
               Name = "Olecontrol1"
   
            ADD OBJECT cmdbtn1 AS COMMANDBUTTON
               procedure cmdbtn1.click
                  clear events
               endproc
   
         ENDDEFINE 




2. When the ToolBar displays, click inside the Date Time Picker Control. You may want to either highlight a date value or click the DOWN ARROW key.



3. Using an ALT key combination like ALT+Z, ALT+C, or ALT+U and so on, causes the following exception error:

   Fatal Error: Exception code-C0000005 Called from ...........

   Clicking OK, the only option, shuts down Visual FoxPro.
