FIX: Hang When Resizing a ToolBar With ASELOBJ at Design-Time

ID: Q221622

The information in this article applies to:

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

SYMPTOMS

Attempting to interactively resize a toolbar in the Class Designer might hang Visual FoxPro if the ASELOBJ() function was used to programmatically select the toolbar object.

STATUS

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

This bug was corrected in Visual Studio 6.0 Service Pack 3.

For more information about Visual Studio service packs, please see the following articles in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

Q194295 HOWTO: Tell That Visual Studio 6.0 Service Packs Are Installed

MORE INFORMATION

This behavior does not occur in Visual FoxPro 3.0b for the Macintosh.

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

Run the following code from a program (.PRG) file:


CREATE CLASS toolz AS TOOLBAR OF test NOWAIT
= ASELOBJ(aToolBar,1)
aToolBar[1].ADDOBJECT('b1','commandbutton')
aToolBar[1].b1.HEIGHT = 22
aToolBar[1].b1.WIDTH = 22
aToolBar[1].b1.CAPTION = ''
aToolBar[1].b1.AUTOSIZE = .T.

Using the mouse, attempt to resize the toolbar in the Class Designer.

Visual FoxPro will hang, and the mouse pointer will remain the resize cursor, which is the double-headed arrow by default.

You must end the task to shut down Visual FoxPro.
