BUG: View Window Responds Incorrectly to Double-Click (190260)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows 3.0b
  • Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows 5.0

SYMPTOMS

Double-clicking a table in the Alias window of the Data session dialog box (or the View dialog box in Visual FoxPro 3.0x) does not always open a Browse window for that table.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. We are researching this bug and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

MORE INFORMATION

This behavior occurs when displaying more than ten tables with this dialog. If the table appears in the middle of the list, double-clicking does not open the Browse window. However, if the table appears at the top or the bottom of the list, double-clicking does open a Browse window.

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

  1. Create a program that contains the following code and run the program: 
          CREATE TABLE test (one c(10))
      INSERT INTO test VALUES ('hi there')

      FOR ii=1 TO 25
         COPY TO ('test'+ALLTRIM(STR(ii)))
         USE ('test'+ALLTRIM(STR(ii))) IN 0
      ENDFOR

      SET
  2. Double-click Test4, which appears in the middle of the visible list of files. Note that the list jumps and you end up selecting a different table. The Browse window does not open. Similar behavior may happen when double-clicking tables in the list.
  3. To delete all the tables created by the sample code, add the following code to a separate program file and run the program: 
          CLOSE ALL
      DELETE FILE test.DBF
      FOR ii=1 TO 25
         DELETE FILE  ('test'+ALLTRIM(STR(ii)))+".dbf"
      ENDFOR
