SYMPTOMS

If you define an MsGraph 8.0 object with the Top, Left, Width, Height, Autosize, and Stretch properties in the class in Visual FoxPro 5.x, an exception error might occur when the class is instantiated.

RESOLUTION

Do not include the Top, Left, Width, and Height properties in conjunction with Autosize and Stretch properties in the class.

Use the following sample code to work around for this problem:

   PUBLIC x
   x=CREATEOBJECT('MyForm')
   x.ole1.AutoSize=.F.
   x.ole1.Stretch=0
   x.ole1.DoVerb()
   x.Show

   DEFINE CLASS MyForm AS Form
   WindowType=1
   ADD OBJECT ole1 AS OleControl WITH ;
      OleClass='MSGraph.chart.8',;
      Top=10, Left=10, Width=100, Height=100
   ENDDEFINE

STATUS

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

MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

Create a .prg (program) file.

Copy the following code into the program file:

      PUBLIC x
      x=CREATEOBJECT('MyForm')
      x.Show

      DEFINE CLASS MyForm AS Form
      WindowType=1
      ADD OBJECT ole1 AS OleControl WITH   ;
         OleClass='MSGraph.chart.8',;
         Top=10, Left=10, Width=100, Height=100,;
         AutoSize=.f.,Stretch=0
      ENDDEFINE

Save the program and run it.

RESULT: An exception error occurs, and Visual FoxPro shuts down.
