This article was previously published under Q221704



SYMPTOMS
The _urlcombobox foundation class that ships with Visual FoxPro 6.0 facilitates navigation to various Internet resources. The _urlcombobox adds the prefix "http://" to any URL that is typed in. Entering a URL other than an http address, such as an ftp address, results in an invalid URL.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a bug in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.

The Visual Studio 6.0 Service Pack 3 readme erroneously lists this bug as being fixed. Service Pack 3 did not fix this bug.



Steps to Reproduce Behavior
  Place the following code in a program and run it: PUBLIC ox SET CLASSLIB to HOME + "FFC\_INTERNET.VCX" ox=CREATEOBJECT("form1") ox.Show DEFINE CLASS form1 AS form Height = 87 Width = 208 Visible = .T.   Name = "Form1" ADD OBJECT _urlcombobox1 AS _urlcombobox WITH ; Left = 0, ; Top = 12, ; Name = "_urlcombobox1" ADD OBJECT command1 AS commandbutton WITH ; Top = 48, ; Left = 48, ; Height = 27, ; Width = 84, ; Caption = "Navigate", ; Name = "Command1" PROCEDURE command1.Click thisform._urlcombobox1.navigate ENDPROC ENDDEFINE  Enter ftp.anyname.com into the URLComboBox. Expand the URLComboBox and choose the address typed in step 2. Notice that http:// has been added to the beginning of the URL.
