The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows, versions 3.0, 3.0b
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SYMPTOMS
========
A command button's Default property is set to true (.T.), and it can't be set
back to false (.F.). This Results in a command button that fires its Click event
whenever the user presses the ENTER key anywhere on the form.
This problem occurs when all of the following are true:
- Another form in the form set is called from the Click event of a command
button.
- The command button is not the first object in the Tab order.
- The form that is being called has its Visible property set to false.
WORKAROUND
==========
Here are two possible workarounds:
- Pull the "called" form from the form set, and make it a stand-alone form.
Then call it from the Click event of the command button with a DO FORM
command.
-or-
- If the form set must stay intact, set the Visible property of the "called"
form back to true (.T.), which is the default. Set its Top property to a very
high negative value such as -500. Then in the "called" form's Show method,
set the Top value back to an appropriate value such as 12, and in the Hide
method, set the Top value back to the high negative value. This effectively
keeps the form hidden until the application is ready to present the form and
then rehides it.
STATUS
======
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at
the beginning of this article. This problem has been fixed in Visual FoxPro 5.0
for Windows.
