APPLIES TO

This article was previously published under Q134393

SYMPTOMS

If you have two grids on a form and they overlap, the one that is behind will not come forward and paint properly on the screen when you activate it. This is also true for any other overlapping controls.

WORKAROUND

Use a FormSet or a PageFrame control, so you don't need to overlap any objects on the form.

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 Behavior

  1. Create a form.
  2. Add two Grids to the form making sure the grids overlap at least a little bit.
  3. Run the form, and switch between the two grids. Notice that the grid that's slightly covered by the other grid does not paint properly when it's the active control.
