SYMPTOMS
If you select the Functional Conversion option when converting a screen
from an earlier version of FoxPro, and then add a PageFrame control to the
converted form, you will see two pages and the PageCount property cannot be
modified.
CAUSE
When you convert a screen from an earlier version of FoxPro, the converter
dialog box appears asking if you would like to convert the screen via a
Functional Conversion or a Visual Conversion. The Functional Conversion
provides immediate FoxPro 2.x READ compatibility so you can use forms in
Visual FoxPro without making a lot of manual changes to the converted
screen. The Visual Conversion creates images of forms and all controls, but
it copies the code from the original FoxPro 2.x screen to a .prg file. If
you choose the Functional Conversion, the newly converted form will not
allow the PageCount property of a PageFrame control to be modified when a
PageFrame is added to the form.
RESOLUTION
To be able to modify the PageCount, you must set the Windowtype property to
Modal or Modeless.
STATUS
This behavior is by design.
