PRB: Create New Catalog Shows the Name of the Catalog and Path (195584)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows 6.0
This article was previously published under Q195584

SYMPTOMS

When creating a new catalog in the Component Gallery, the newly created catalog name and path is listed in the catalog list box. Additionally, the Global and Default check boxes are dimmed.

CAUSE

Each time you create a new catalog, the filename is first stored in an array. The catalog is not created until you close the Component Gallery Options dialog box. The Global and Default check boxes are enabled and the path to the catalog is removed for the next time when the Options dialog box opens again.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.
