MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

  1. Run the following code from a program (.prg) file: 
    LOCAL aobj[1]
LOCAL xx As Form
DELETE FILE testxx.sc?
CREATE FORM testxx NOWAIT
=ASELOBJ(aobj,1)
xx = aobj[1]
xx.AutoCenter = .t.
xx.WriteMethod('click1',[WAIT WINDOW PROGRAM() time 1],.t.)

KEYBOARD 'Y' CLEAR
RELEASE WINDOW 'Form Designer'

DO FORM testxx 
testxx.click1
testxx.Release 

MODIFY FORM testxx NOWAIT 
=ASELOBJ(aobj,1) 
xx = aobj[1]
* Uncomment the next line to set up conditions for a possible fatal error.
* xx.ResetToDefault('click1')
RETURN
  2. In the Properties window, click the Methods tab. Find the Click1 method, right-click it, and select Reset to Default. The method will be removed from the form instead of being reset.

    If you uncomment the last line of the code above, you will see a stray entry in the Properties window, where the Click1 method should have been. If you double-click that entry, you receive the following error:
    Fatal error: Exception code=C0000005
