Q189722: BUG: Form Ignores the Height Change of a Form Template

Article: Q189722
Product(s): Microsoft FoxPro
Version(s): WINDOWS:6.0
Operating System(s): 
Keyword(s): 
Last Modified: 11-DEC-1999

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

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

SYMPTOMS
========

A form created from a form template ignores changes made in the Height property.

RESOLUTION
==========

In the form's Init method, programmatically set the Height property. For
example, add the following line to the form's Init event:

     This.Height=275

STATUS
======

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

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

Form templates allow the use of a standardize form design to reduce development
time of similar forms.

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

1. Create a form class with the following properties:

  Height = 173
  MaxHeight = 200

2. Choose the Tools menu pad and the Options menu bar. Select the Forms tab and
  set the form template class to the new form class created in step 1.

3. Create a new form and change the default MaxHeight property to 300 and the
  Height property to 275. Save and run the form. Note that the Height is not
  the same as it was in the Designer.

4. Modify the form and verify that the Height is 173 rather than 275 (to which
  the Height was changed).
