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

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

1. In Visual FoxPro (VFP) 5.0 or 6.0, paste the following code in a new program:

   *!* Q300055 FIX: Init Event Shows Twice In Event Tracking On Objects Created With AddObject()
  SET EVENTLIST TO INIT, DESTROY
  SET EVENTTRACKING TO EventProb.LOG
  SET EVENTTRACKING ON

  ox = CREATEOBJECT('EventProb')
  ox = NULL

  SET EVENTTRACKING OFF
  SET EVENTTRACKING TO
  MODIFY FILE EventProb.LOG NOWAIT

  DEFINE CLASS EventProb AS FORM
  	PROCEDURE INIT
  	THIS.ADDOBJECT('cntProb', 'ProbContainer')
  ENDDEFINE

  DEFINE CLASS ProbContainer AS CONTAINER
  	ADD OBJECT txtDemo AS TEXTBOX
  ENDDEFINE

2. Save and run the code (the name is unimportant).

The event log appears on the screen. Note that the Init event for the text box
appears in the log twice, on lines 2 and 3.
