PRB: HIDE WINDOW ALL Command Affects User-Defined Toolbars

MORE INFORMATION

Developers using the command HIDE WINDOW ALL and expecting their toolbars to stay visible may run into trouble. The toolbars are essentially the same as any user-defined window and are thus subject to being hidden. The System toolbars, on the other hand, are a special instance and as such remain visible unless a HIDE WINDOW command is used with the name of the window For a list of the correct names of the System toolbars, please see the Visual FoxPro Language Reference or the SHOW WINDOW topic in the Help manu.

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

Enter the following code into a Visual FoxPro program. Then run that program to create a toolbar on the desktop.

*** Program Tooltest.prg **************
PUBLIC oToolbar
oToolbar = CREATEOBJECT("UDToolbar")
oToolbar.show()

DEFINE CLASS UDToolbar AS Toolbar
     Caption = "My Toolbar"
     Height = 29
     Left = 0
     Top = 0
     Width = 80

     ADD OBJECT Cbsave AS Commandbutton WITH ;
          Top = 4, ;
          Left = 6, ;
          Height = 23, ;
          Width = 24, ;
          Picture = "\vfp\wizards\wizbmps\wzsave.bmp", ;
          Caption =  "", ;
          Default = .F., ;
          Name = "CbSave"

     ADD OBJECT Cbdelete AS Commandbutton WITH ;
          Top = 4, ;
          Left = 29, ;
          Height = 23, ;
          Width = 24, ;
          Picture = "\vfp\wizards\wizbmps\wzdelete.bmp", ;
          Caption =  "", ;
          Default = .F., ;
          Name = "CbDelete"

     ADD OBJECT Cbprint AS Commandbutton WITH ;
          Top = 4, ;
          Left = 52, ;
          Height = 23, ;
          Width = 24, ;
          Picture = "\vfp\wizards\wizbmps\wzprint.bmp", ;
          Caption =  "", ;
          Default = .F., ;
          Name = "CbPrint"

ENDDEFINE
*** End program Tooltest.prg********************
				

Once the toolbar is visible, in the Command window enter this command:

   HIDE WINDOW ALL
				

followed by

   SHOW WINDOW ALL
