PRB: Can't Select an Existing File in Save As Class Dialog Box

ID: Q147343

3.00b MACINTOSH kbother kbprb

The information in this article applies to:

• Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Macintosh, version 3.0b

SYMPTOMS

In the Save As Class dialog box, you can't use the mouse to save a class to an existing class library file (.vcx); all the .vcx file names are greyed and clicking a file does not select it. It was expected that a mouse click would select an existing class library to store the class.

CAUSE

In the Save dialog box on the Macintosh platform, the file names are dimmed, and it is not possible to select them with the mouse. This is a Macintosh standard interface dialog box. The dialog box displayed when the PUTFILE() function is called behaves in the same manner.

RESOLUTION

When the Save As dialog box is displayed, you can type the name of the .vcx in the Save Class As text box. This will allow you to store the class in the existing .vcx file.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.
