PRB: Changing Form ScaleMode Does Not Alter Grid Partition Value

Last reviewed: May 8, 1997
Article ID: Q168197

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows, versions 3.0, 3.0b, 5.0, 5.0a on the following platforms: NT, Win95

SYMPTOMS

Changing the ScaleMode property of a form does not change the numerical value of the partition of a Grid.

STATUS

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

MORE INFORMATION

When changing the ScaleMode of a form from pixels to foxels or vice versa, all the dimensional properties of the form and controls on the form should reflect to the new ScaleMode.

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

Create a form.
Add a Grid to the form and make its Width property 400.
Increase the Partition property of the Grid to 200.
Change the ScaleMode property of the form from pixels to foxels.

Look at the numerical values that should change when the ScaleMode changes, such as width, top, left, or height of the form and the Grid. These values change, but the partition value of the Grid remains the same.
