Dropping Fields on Pageframe

[crewchiefpro5]

Another simple question. How do I drop fields on a pageframe? When I try to drag and drop it does not go on the pageframe, but on the form. In EDIT Mode unless I cut and paste I doesn't want to work properly.

right click the pageframe, select the page you wanted your fields to be dropped onto and click "edit" then drop the fields as desired.

hope this helps. peace!

In Fox 8 you can CTRL+Click on the pageframe instead of having to use the right-click menu. Saves a millisecond or two.

The Ctrl+Click on container objects works in VFP 7 as well. I find this to be a tremendous time saver.

Once you have the container control (in this case it is a pageframe) in edit mode (either by right-click context menu option method or the aforemetioned "Ctrl + Left-Click" method) you should see a greenish-blue hashed border displayed around the container. Then go click on the desired control or drag and drop the desired class or however you are putting the controls on your pages inside the pageframe and they will go inside the container not on top of it. (Note: that greenish-blue hash border has a bad habit of not repainting correctly so sometimes you can still see it even after the container is no longer in edit mode).

I agree that "Ctrl + Left-Click" is a time saver, and for controls that are nested more than one level deep there is "Ctrl + Shift + Left-Click" which will save you even more time. I tend to use the latter most of the time as it becomes a habit and I am usually trying to get to a control not the container in which it resides.

Correction for the sticklers... it is actually the Page object that is acting as the container as the PageFrame only contains the pages.
