The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows, versions 5.0, 5.0a, 6.0 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

If you define an MsGraph 8.0 object with the Top, Left, Width, Height, Autosize,
and Stretch properties in the class in Visual FoxPro 5.x, an exception error
might occur when the class is instantiated.

RESOLUTION
==========

Do not include the Top, Left, Width, and Height properties in conjunction with
Autosize and Stretch properties in the class.

Use the following sample code to work around for this problem:

     PUBLIC x
     x=CREATEOBJECT('MyForm')
     x.ole1.AutoSize=.F.
     x.ole1.Stretch=0
     x.ole1.DoVerb()
     x.Show

     DEFINE CLASS MyForm AS Form
     WindowType=1
     ADD OBJECT ole1 AS OleControl WITH ;
        OleClass='MSGraph.chart.8',;
        Top=10, Left=10, Width=100, Height=100
     ENDDEFINE

STATUS
======

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here in the
Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

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

1. Create a .prg (program) file.

2. Copy the following code into the program file:

        PUBLIC x
        x=CREATEOBJECT('MyForm')
        x.Show

        DEFINE CLASS MyForm AS Form
        WindowType=1
        ADD OBJECT ole1 AS OleControl WITH   ;
           OleClass='MSGraph.chart.8',;
           Top=10, Left=10, Width=100, Height=100,;
           AutoSize=.f.,Stretch=0
        ENDDEFINE

3. Save the program and run it.

RESULT: An exception error occurs, and Visual FoxPro shuts down.
