BUG: ResetToDefault Doesn't Work on Events and Methods in VFP 6.0

ID: Q231938

The information in this article applies to:

SYMPTOMS

When calling the ResetToDefault method at run-time in Visual FoxPro 6.0, the following error occurs:

Property does not have a default value.
This error only occurs when resetting events or methods. Resetting properties does not produce the error.


STATUS

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


MORE INFORMATION

When calling the ResetToDefault method, it resets the property, event, or method that it is referencing back to its default value. For example, issuing the following code sets the FontBold property of the form back to the default value of False: 


Thisform.ResetToDefault("FontBold")
In Visual FoxPro 6.0, setting properties back to their default works correctly but setting events and methods back to their defaults causes the error described above. Of course, properties that are not available at run-time or design-time will always return the error, as they should.

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

  1. Copy the code into a program file:


    2. 
     PUBLIC oform1
     oform1=NEWOBJECT("form1")
     oform1.Show

     DEFINE CLASS form1 AS form
               Caption = "Form1"
               Name = "Form1"

               ADD OBJECT command1 AS commandbutton WITH ;
                             Top = 120, ;
                             Left = 184, ;
                             Height = 27, ;
                             Width = 99, ;
                             Caption = "ResetToDefault", ;
                             Name = "Command1"

               PROCEDURE Click
                             WAIT WINDOW "In the Form Click event."
               ENDPROC

               PROCEDURE command1.Click
                             Thisform.ResetToDefault("Click")
               ENDPROC
ENDDEFINE
  2. Run the program and click the command button.


    3. The error above occurs and the form's Click event is not set back to its default because the WAIT WINDOW command still fires.
