FIX: Class Designer Changes the Width of a Form Class (148357)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows 3.0
- Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows 3.0b
This article was previously published under Q148357 SYMPTOMS
In Visual FoxPro, Microsoft recommends that forms and classes be designed
using the Foxels measurement instead of the Pixels measurement when an
application is intended to be used across platforms or when the font
metrics are likely to change (small to large, for example).
However, if a Form class is created using the Class Designer with the
scalemode set to Foxel and width set to a specific number, the width of the
form may be reduced or enlarged depending on the font used. For example, it
is reduced by twenty five percent (25%) after the class has been changed to
Courier New from Arial, saved, and modified again. This is demonstrated in
the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
129208 Pixel Replaces Foxel as Default Scale Value in Design Mode
WORKAROUND
To prevents this from happening, change the Scalemode property to Pixels or
don't change the Fontname property from Arial.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products
listed at the beginning of this article. This problem has been fixed in
Visual FoxPro 5.0 for Windows.
