Objects, collections? Big problem

[phil22046]

My line of code that crashes is:

thisform.wkgrid.columns(thisform.wkgrid.leftcolumn).text1.lostfocus()

The error message I get is 'COLUMNS is not an object.'

I am converting this code from VFP6 to VFP8. It runs fine in VFP6

Try column instead of columns.

sorry mike, when I do that I get Column does not evaluate to an object.

thisform.wkgrid.columns(thisform.wkgrid.leftcolumn).text1.lostfocus()

Where (what method/form object) is this code located?

If you look at the values in the debugger, what is the value of thisform.wkgrid.leftcolumn?

What is the code in the text box's LostFocus()?

If you need to call the code from 2 places, the code should be a custom method of the form and then you can issue the command Thisform.DoSomething() from both the text box's LostFocus() and anywhere else that you need to invoke it.

1) the code is located in the BeforeRowColChange of another grid on the same form.

2) thisform.wkgrid.leftcolumn = 2.

3) the lostfocus in text1 has no code.

 

[MarciaAkins]

the lostfocus in text1 has no code.

Then why are you calling the method? Calling the method does not fire the event - it merely runs any code that happens to be in the method.

Apparently the problem lies with the value of leftcolumn. At this point in the program, the grid only has one column.

So the reference to a non-existant column is causing the problem.

I didn't write this code, I just have to suffer through the twists and turns of changing it.
