PRODUCT :Microsoft FoxPro

KEYWORDS:kbservicepack kbMiscTools kbvfp600 kbvfp600bug kbVS600sp2 kbVS600SP1 kbVS600sp3fix kbGr

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

 - Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows, version 6.0 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

You run a form from the Form Designer with CTRL+E or the [!] toolbar button,
suspend on a line of code, and the Debugger Trace window is displayed. You then
select Debug, then Fix from the Debugger window menu. If the Form Controls or
other form toolbars were displayed before you ran the form, they will
subsequently be displayed within the Debugger window, rather than in the Visual
FoxPro desktop.

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the
beginning of this article.

This bug was corrected in Visual Studio 6.0 Service Pack 3. For more information
about Visual Studio service packs, please see the following articles in the
Microsoft Knowledge Base:

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

The code below programmatically creates a form and adds code to its Activate
method that intentionally causes an error. The behavior demonstrated is the same
as if you carry out the steps manually:

1. Run the following code from a program (.PRG) file:

   SET RESOURCE OFF  	&& Ensures Form Controls toolbar is visible
   CLOSE ALL
   DELETE FILE testxx.sc?
   LOCAL aobj[1], xx
   CREATE FORM testxx NOWAIT
   =ASELOBJ(aobj,1)
   xx = aobj[1]
   xx.WRITEMETHOD('activate',[x=xx])
   KEYBOARD 'Y' CLEAR
   RELEASE WINDOW 'Form Designer - testxx.scx'
   MODIFY FORM testxx NOWAIT
   KEYBOARD '{ctrl+e}'   && Run form

2. When the error dialog is displayed, click the Suspend button.

3. When the Debugger appears, select Debug, then Fix from the Debugger menu bar.

4. Look for the Form Controls toolbar in the Visual FoxPro desktop; it does not
   appear there.

5. Press the ALT+TAB key combination to go back to the Debugger window.

Results:

1. Form controls toolbar appears in the Debugger Window.

2. This also happens with SET RESOURCE ON, and can also happen with the Layout
   and Color Palette toolbars if they are open before running the form, and SET
   RESOURCE is on.
