Mouse droppings

Hey folks,

Anyone seen this? Comments? Suggestions?

Form has pageframe with 3 pages, 2nd page has 2 containers with 2 listboxes
("mover" type u/i)

When first run, activate page 2 and the mouse will not select in any of the
lists. (Keyboard selection is fine.) Activate page 3 and come back to page 2
and all is fine.

This is in a form that hasn't changed in 6 years. If I run an exe built with
VFP8 in the VFP9 IDE, the problem is present. The same exe works fine in
VFP8.

Try this in your pageframe.Init:

LOCAL OrigLS, x
m.OrigLS = thisform.LockScreen
thisform.LockScreen = .t.
FOR m.x=this.PageCount TO 1 STEP -1
this.ActivePage=m.x
ENDFOR
thisform.LockScreen = m.OrigLS

Thanks, Fred!

That's one of the few things I *hadn't* tried yet. <g>

Didn't work. :-(

Will continue fiddling.

Hi Dan !!!

What happens when you build the form from scratch
natively in VFP9 sp1,
and use classlibs that were recompiled
in VFP9 sp1 ?

Do you get the same results?

We're careening towards an impending release so we'll be shipping in VFP8
(where the code works just fine).

I'll revisit this issue after we've shipped.

Good For You -

There has to be normalization on yer codebase somehow, yes?
To introduce VFP9 into yer mix , for you and your firm, is a bad thing at
the moment.

But - you've probably already told your IT department and the *Manager*
somewhere what your
migration strategy is for VFP 9 to be used as the IDE of choice, yes?

If not, you should. Put it in a memo, send it out after your current
*release* is out the door.
If you need assistance in the wording, let me know.

Regards [Bill]

Thanks for the advice, Bill. I *am* the manager. <g>

We've actually been running in VFP9 for several months, internally.
Presumably this problem was there all along but testers just now reported
it. When we went digging, we realized it's more pervasive than just this one
form.

Not a bridge to cross at this point.

Fortunately I had forbidden the use of *any* VFP9-specific features for this
release (to cover exactly this eventuality).

That's strange. It worked for a client with the exact same problem. BTW,
if I created the form from scratch, it never happened (no code needed).

Yup, that's what I'm seeing too. But I don't have time to futz with it now.
