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 that this is a bug in the Microsoft products that are 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:

MORE INFORMATION

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

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

  1. 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.
  2. Using the mouse, attempt to resize the toolbar in the Class Designer.
  3. Visual FoxPro will hang, and the mouse pointer will remain the resize cursor, which is the double-headed arrow by default.
  4. You must end the task to shut down Visual FoxPro.
