BUG: Pressing PAGE UP or PAGE DOWN Moves to New Code Window

Article ID: 135329

Article Last Modified on 9/30/2003

APPLIES TO

Microsoft Visual FoxPro 3.0 Standard Edition
Microsoft Visual FoxPro 3.0b Standard Edition

This article was previously published under Q135329

SYMPTOMS

If procedure code is short enough that all code fits in a single page of the Code Window, pressing the PAGE UP or PAGE DOWN key moves to the previous or next populated procedure rather than moving to the beginning or end of the currently edited procedure.

WORKAROUND

Press CTRL+HOME or CTRL+END to move to the beginning or end of the currently edited procedure.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. This problem has been fixed in Visual FoxPro 5.0 for Windows.

MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Problem

Create a form.
Type the following two lines in the Code window for the Init procedure of the form:
```
      This.Height=300
      This.Width=500
```

Type the following two lines in the Code window for the DblClick procedure of the form:

      WAIT WINDOW STR(This.Height) TIMEOUT 1
      WAIT WINDOW STR(This.Width) TIMEOUT 1

Double-click the upper-left corner of the Code window to close it.
Open the DblClick Procedure by double-clicking anywhere on the form in the Form Designer.
Press the PAGE DOWN key.

Notes

The actual behavior is that the next populated procedure (in this case, the Init Procedure) displays in the Code Window.
The insertion point should advance to the end of the current procedure when you first press PAGE DOWN and to the beginning of the next populated procedure when you next press PAGE DOWN.
If the procedure code fills more than one page in the Code window, the first time you press PAGE DOWN will move the pointer to the beginning of the next page of the current procedure, as expected.
Pressing PAGE UP when at the end of a procedure should move the pointer to the beginning of the current procedure. Instead, it displays the previously populated procedure. If, however, the pointer is on page 2 or higher of a procedure that is longer than a page in the Code Window, the pointer moves to the previous page of the current procedure.
Pressing CTRL+END moves the pointer to the end of the current procedure, and pressing CTRL+HOME moves the pointer to the beginning of the current procedure. These behaviors occur regardless of the length of the procedure in the Code Window.
