APPLIES TO


 * Microsoft Visual FoxPro 3.0b for Macintosh

This article was previously published under Q147343



SYMPTOMS
In the Save As Class dialog box, you can't use the mouse to save a class to an existing class library file (.vcx); all the .vcx file names are greyed and clicking a file does not select it. It was expected that a mouse click would select an existing class library to store the class.



CAUSE
In the Save dialog box on the Macintosh platform, the file names are dimmed, and it is not possible to select them with the mouse. This is a Macintosh standard interface dialog box. The dialog box displayed when the PUTFILE function is called behaves in the same manner.



RESOLUTION
When the Save As dialog box is displayed, you can type the name of the .vcx in the Save Class As text box. This will allow you to store the class in the existing .vcx file.



STATUS
This behavior is by design.



Steps to Reproduce Behavior

 * 1) Create a new form.

2 Place some controls on the form, and select them.


 * 1) Click Save As Class on the File menu. In the Save Class dialog box, type a Name, and click the More button to select a file name.
 * 2) Change the folder to Samples\Mainsamp\Libs.
 * 3) Click a .vcx name. All the class libraries are greyed.
 * 4) Type Login.vcx in the Save Class As text box. Click Save. When you are returned to the Visual FoxPro Save Class dialog box, the file name is displayed in the File text box.
