TITLE   :FIX: Label Properties Cause Illegal Operation
PRODUCT :Microsoft FoxPro
PROD/VER:5.0a 5.0
OPER/SYS:
KEYWORDS:kbprogramming kbvfp kbvfp500aBUG kbvfp500bugkbbuglist

======================================================================
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows, versions 5.0, 5.0a 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

Running a program that instantiates a form containing a label that has
properties of Autosize and WordWrap together causes a stack fault.

In Windows 95, the message shows a dialog box with Visual FoxPro as its title
saying the following:

   This Program has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down.

The Details button opens a message saying the following:

   VFP caused a stack fault in module VFP.EXE.

In Windows NT, the message is in a Dr. Watson dialog box and says the following:

   An application error has occurred and an application error log is being
   generated. VFP.exe - Exception: stack overflow [0xc00000fd].
   Address<...>.

After the error message appears, VFP shuts down.

RESOLUTION
==========

The error does not occur if the label properties include either AutoSize or
WordWrap, but not both.

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the
beginning of this article. This has been corrected in Visual FoxPro 6.0.

MORE INFORMATION
================

The same error may occur from a label on a form generated by the Form Builder.
The workaround in that situation is different. For more information on that form
of the problem, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge
Base:

Steps to Reproduce Behavior
---------------------------

Copy the following code into a program named LabelTest.prg, then run the

      ********************************************************
      *- LabelTest.prg
      *-  A program to demonstrate the effect of combining the
      *-  Autosize and WordWrap properties on a label.
      ********************************************************
      PUBLIC x
      x=CREATEOBJECT("Form")
      x.AddObject("mylabel","test")
      x.Visible=.t.

      DEFINE CLASS test AS label
        AutoSize = .T.
        WordWrap = .T.

        PROCEDURE Init
          LOCAL lcTest,lcname
          lcname=THIS.NAME+"A" && Get a unique name
          THIS.PARENT.ADDOBJECT(lcname,'label')
          lcTest=lcname

          WITH THIS.PARENT.&lcTest
            .AUTOSIZE=THIS.AUTOSIZE
            .WORDWRAP=THIS.WORDWRAP   && Comment this line for success.
            .VISIBLE=.T.
          ENDWITH
        ENDPROC
     ENDDEFINE
