PRB: Cannot Update Source Code Control Status From ProjectHook.Init() (293293)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows 6.0
This article was previously published under Q293293

SYMPTOMS

When you try to update files that are under Source Code Control (that is, Visual SourceSafe) from the ProjectHook's Init event, the Source Code Control methods that are associated with the File objects fail.

CAUSE

The Visual FoxPro (VFP) documentation states, "Note that the project object and its properties and methods are not available in the ProjectHook object Init event." Because the project object logs on to the Source Code Control database, any attempt to operate on the files at this time fails.

RESOLUTION

Use a different method to operate on the files, For example, set a flag so that the first operation on any file causes the latest version of all the files to be brought down to the working folder.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.

MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

  1. Create a Project Hook class in the class designer.
  2. Add the following code to the Init event:
    This.oProject = _VFP.ActiveProject
WAIT WINDOW NOWAIT "Project Hook Enabled"
This.GetLatestAll()
  3. Create a class method called GetLatestAll, and add the following code to it:
    LOCAL oFile, m.i

FOR m.i = 1 TO This.oProject.Files.Count
   oFile = This.oProject.Files[m.i]
   ? oFile.Name
   ? oFile.SCCStatus
   IF NOT oFile.SCCStatus = 0    && SCCFILE_NOTCONTROLLED
      ? oFile.GetLatestVersion()
   ENDif
ENDfor  && each file
  4. Add the following code to the class's Destroy event:
    This.oProject = NULL
  5. Save the class, and add it to a project that is under Source Control.
  6. Open the project, and note that although each file and its SCCStatus are listed, each call to GetLatestVersion fails.
