Article: Q190863
Product(s): Microsoft FoxPro
Version(s): WINDOWS:3.0,3.0b,5.0,5.0a,6.0
Operating System(s):

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

- Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows, versions 3.0, 3.0b, 5.0, 5.0a, 6.0 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

The Grid Alignment property programmatically accepts any numeric value without
causing a error. According to the Help file, values 0 through 9 are the only
valid values.

This behavior also exists in Visual FoxPro versions 3.x and 5.x.

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at
the beginning of this article. We are researching this problem and will post new
information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

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

According to Visual FoxPro Online help, values 0 through 9 are valid Grid Header
Alignment values, but values outside this range do not cause errors. In general,
values below 0 align the header to the middle left and values above 9 align the
header to the bottom center.

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

1. Run the following code and change the Grid Header Alignment property by using
  the Spinner control:

        frmAlignment=CREATEOBJECT('form')
        frmAlignment.ADDOBJECT('grdHeader','grid')
        frmAlignment.ADDOBJECT('spnSpinner','Gridspinner')
        frmAlignment.grdHeader.COLUMNCOUNT = 3
        frmAlignment.grdHeader.VISIBLE = 1
        frmAlignment.grdHeader.column1.header1.CAPTION = "I"
        frmAlignment.grdHeader.column1.header1.ALIGNMENT = 0 &&Aligned Left
        frmAlignment.SHOW(1)

        DEFINE CLASS gridspinner AS SPINNER
            TOP = 225
            VISIBLE = .T.
            PROCEDURE INTERACTIVECHANGE
                frmAlignment.grdHeader.column1.header1.ALIGNMENT=THIS.VALUE
            ENDPROC
        ENDDEFINE
