This article was previously published under Q221714

SYMPTOMS

The Target URL combobox in the _Hyperlinklabel Builder does not allow any URL longer than 34 characters.

RESOLUTION

You can type in any long URL directly to the cTarget property instead of using the combobox in the builder.

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a bug in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.

The Visual Studio 6.0 Service Pack 3 readme erroneously lists this bug as being fixed. Service Pack 3 did not fix this bug.

MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

  1. Launch Component Gallery.
  2. Create a new form.
  3. Expand the Foundation Classes folder in Component Gallery and select Internet.
  4. Drag and drop the Hyperlink label class to the form.
  5. In the Hyperlink builder, type in the following URL into the Target URL combo box.
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/vfoxpro/technical/articles.asp
    In Visual FoxPro 6.0, you are unable to finish typing the entire URL. In Visual Studio 6.0 SP3 for FoxPro, you can continue typing the long address, but the data truncates.
