forrm.autocenter

I have encountered an issue with some of my forms. All of my forms are based
on a class called cform. Cform has its autocenter set to .t. and this works
just fine.

I have a few forms that I don't want to autocenter to I changed that forms
value to .f..

But, their still autocentering.

Its not the foxuser , and ini or some registry setting. I have no code in
cform to force it back to .t. And after the form has run a check of that
property reveals it to still be .f.


Suggestions?

Open a method in your cForm class, then search for AutoCenter in ALL
OBJECTS. My guess is you have some code in either an Init, SHow, Activate or
some other method that is firing that is issuing an THIS(form).AutoCenter =
.T. command. You may have to search the methods of the offending forms as
well.

You can also set a breakpoint in the debugger for when the value of
THISFORM.AutoCenter = .T. or when its value changes.

I have looked for code that does that and have not found any.

I have check the value of autocenter after the form is displayed and it is
still .F. and a breakpoint set on the value never fires. So its not changing
to .t. and then back to .f.

Then maybe you actually have some code that's mucking with the form .Left
and .Top properties that makes it *look like* AutoCenter is happening.

Alan,

In the init of the form set the top and left properties of the form to what
you want. Whilst this doesn't explain whats happening, it should solve your
problem.

I know that I can do this. I just hate hacking things that "should" work.

My current suspicion is VFP is still seeing the class as autocenter and
ignoring my override.

nope, left and top ate still 0

I changed the size of the forum during its development and it still
autocenters.

Maybe there is some code running somewhere in the inheritence chain that
is changing the setting?

If their was some code doing this I'd expect the autocenter to be .t. when
the form is done loading. But that is not the case. A check of the
autocenter property reveals that is is still .f. A breakpoint in the
debugger never changes from .f. during the form load.

No effect. But, I did not expect one as the autocenter property always shows
.f. after the form is done loading.

Hi Alan:

And what happens if you leave the autocenter property to .F. en the main
class?
May be this is a bug and you must set this property for each form.

Could a Foxuser entry be causing this? What happens if you set top&left to 0
in load?

Set a break point on when the .Top and/or .Left properties change. Your
problem may not be AutoCenter at all. There may be code somewhere that is
calculating these values to center the form.

I think I have found a VFP bug.

I created a new form class no code based directly off the VFP base form
object. The only change was to turn autocenter on.

I created a new form based this new class. Overrode the default and set
autocenter to .f. the form still autocenters.

The class has no code its a totally new form so foxuser can't be doing
anything.

I think its a bug.

more info. this is something with the screen designer/scx's

If I create a vcx or code based class based on the form class autocenter can
be overridden. Its only scx based forms that do not override properly.

Alan

I quick test if the form is created

It appears you're correct about the form not respecting that property if
it's changed. Just add a thisform.Left = 0, thisform.Top = 0 to your
form.Load() (and a DODEFAULT() if you've got code there in your base class)
as a work-around.

I hate having to hack stuff. 8-(

But, being a fox programmer for over 20 years I guess I should be used to it
;-)
