Steps to Reproduce Problem

  1. Create and run this program:
       *Begin Program
       PUBLIC frm1
       frm1 = CREATEOBJ('MyForm')
       frm1.Show
    
       DEFINE CLASS MyForm AS Form
           ADD OBJECT combo1 AS combobox WITH ;
           ControlSource = "x", RowSourceType = 1, RowSource = "aa,bb,cc"
           PROCEDURE combo1.valid
               WAIT WINDOW 'TRY TO CLOSE THE FORM'
               SUSPEND  && SUSPEND ADDED HERE
           ENDPROC
       ENDDEFINE
       *End program
    						
  2. Drop down the list by clicking the down arrow. Then release the mouse button, and select an item from the list. This will cause the combo box Valid code to fire and suspend the action.

    NOTE: The problem doesn't occur if the item is selected from the list by clicking the drop down list arrow and dragging down to the item by holding the mouse down.
  3. When the Wait window shows up, try to close the form by double-clicking the control box in the upper left corner. On the Program menu, click Resume from the menu, or type resume in the Command window.
NOTE: It appears that this does not happen with other objects, or other events in this object.
