SYMPTOMS
========
Visual FoxPro 5.0 causes a General Protection Fault (GPF) when the caption
property of a Label is set more than 255 characters.
WORKAROUND
==========
Set the caption property of a Label to something less than 255 characters.
STATUS
======
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the
beginning of this article.
MORE INFORMATION
================
This behavior happens only in Visual FoxPro 5.0; it works as expected in Visual
FoxPro 3.0 or 3.0b.
Steps to Reproduce Behavior
---------------------------
1. Create a Form and place a Label on it.
2. In the INIT method of the form, put in the following code:
ThisForm.Label1.Caption = Replicate("X",256)
3. Save and run the form.
NOTE: Visual FoxPro terminates immediately when the form runs. (Generally the
fault is an "Invalid Page Fault.")
