Adding a page to a Page Frame Control

[RandyDeWitt]

I am using VFP 7.0, service pack 1 with a single form that has a page frame control with 2 pages. On page 1, I have a grid displaying a subset of the data fields. On page 2, I have individual controls whose controlsource match the individual fields in my table.

In the activate method of each page frame, I placed a this.refresh() and a thisform.refresh() command. I also have a this.grid.refresh() command in the page 1 activate method to refresh my grid control.

My problem is, I added a third page to the page frame control by changing the page count property. I then added the same code to the activate method as page 2, but when I change records using the grid and choose page 3, the controls do not refresh until I give each control focus by clicking or tabbing into the individul control.

I am unclear on how to properly add a page to a page frame control so that the individual controls will refresh like the controls on the original two pages.

I would appreciate any help that may be offered. Thank-you.

You've added a page quite properly. All I can think is that the page 2 code copied to page 3 might still be explicitly referring to "ThisForm.pgf.Page2".

Hi Randy,

Is it possible that the controls you added for page 3 are actually contained on the FORM rather than on the page?

This.refresh() <-- in the activate event of Page3 should be sufficient.

Geoff, Jim and Craig.

Thank-you so much for your quick responses to my question. I have reviewed your posts and confirmed that the controls are truly on the page, not directly on the form and that the correct page is selected when I attempt a this.refresh() command.

Surprisingly, I did a cold boot on my system and a complete project rebuild and then page 3 worked like the other two pages.

I can't explain why or how, but the problem seems to have corrected itself.

I have been a Foxpro 2.6 programmer for many years, going back to basic, Clipper and dbase II. This forumn has been a blessing for me as I strive to learn the nuances of this new program. I appreciate the dedication of the members of this community to share their knowledge with others just learning. Thanks again.
