SYMPTOMS

Dragging a class from the Class Browser to the Visual FoxPro screen produces a "Syntax Error" or "Variable Not Found" error message, and then the Microsoft Visual FoxPro title disappears from the window.

CAUSE

When a class is dragged to the screen, an instance of the class is created. The code in the Init, Load, and Activate events is processed. Errors caused by the code are returned by the Class Browser.

RESOLUTION

To restore the settings of the main Visual FoxPro window, type the following in the Command window:

MODIFY WINDOW SCREEN

STATUS

This behavior is by design.

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

Click the Custom Class icon, and drag the class to the screen. The error "Variable Not Found" is displayed.
Click OK until the last error is displayed. The Visual FoxPro window title disappears.
