SYMPTOMS
========
When changing the BackColor or ForeColor properties of a grid class's header in
the Class Designer to some other color, the grid header remains in the default
color after subclassing the class on to a new form.
RESOLUTION
==========
- Create the grid class definition through code, then add the grid to the form
using the AddObject method. Please see step 1 in the Workaround section for
further instruction.
-or-
- Change the Backcolor or ForeColor properties of the Header in the subclassing
grid.
STATUS
======
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the
beginning of this article.
MORE INFORMATION
================
The behavior as described in the SYMPTOMS section, does not occur if the grid is
created through code rather than using the class designer.
Steps to Reproduce Behavior
---------------------------
1. Create a Grid class in Class Designer, named the class mygrid and save the
class in myclass library.
2. Change the ColumnCount property of the grid to 1.
3. Go to the header object of the grid and change the following properties of
the header object:
" BackColor = 255,0,0 ForeColor = 0,255,0 " (without the quotation marks)
4. Close the class designer.
5. Create a new form in a form designer, named myform.
6. Add the myclass class library to the Form Controls toolbar.
7. Select mygrid from the toolbar and place it onto the form.
The Header of the grid object shows up as default color, which is gray for the
backcolor and black for the forecolor.
Workaround
----------
1. Create a program (.prg) named Gridclass.prg and put the following code in the
.prg file:
DEFINE CLASS grid1 AS Grid
ADD OBJECT column11 AS column1
ENDDEFINE
DEFINE CLASS column1 AS Column
Width = 120
ADD OBJECT header11 AS header1
ENDDEFINE
DEFINE CLASS header1 AS Header
ForeColor = rgb(0,255,0)
BackColor=rgb(255,0,0)
ENDDEFINE
2. Create a form and in the Init event of the form place the following code:
SET PROCEDURE TO gridclass.prg
Thisform.AddObject("mygrid","grid1")
Thisform.mygrid.Visible = .T.
3. Run the form and the grid header shows up with the backcolor and forecolor
you expect.
