PRB: DhCell.getValue() Returns 0 for DhCell w/o Integer Value

MORE INFORMATION

The value of a DhCell is set by calling either the setValue() or the setText() method.

The following four instructions yield a value of zero because setText is called with a non-integer value:

DhCell cell=new DhCell(); // Create a DhCell element.
cell.setValue(10);   // The value of the cell is 10.
cell.setText("Hello"); // The value of the cell is now 0.
int cellValue = cell.getValue(); // cellValue=0.
				

The following four instructions yield a value of 123 because setText is called with an integer value (123):

DhCell cell=new DhCell(); // Create a DhCell element.
cell.setValue(10);   // The value of the cell is 10.
cell.setText("123"); // The value of the cell is now 123.
int cellValue = cell.getValue(); // cellValue=123.
				

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

1. Create a default Code-Behind HTML project using Visual J++ 6.0. To do this, click New Project... from the File menu. Click the New tab in the New Project dialog box. Select Web Pages from the Visual J++ Projects tree. Select Code-Behind HTML, and click Open to create the project. Class1.java is created by default.
2. Modify Class1.java as follows:

   import com.ms.wfc.html.*;
   import com.ms.wfc.core.*;
   import com.ms.wfc.ui.*;
   public class Class1 extends DhDocument
   {
      public Class1()
      {
         initForm();
      }
      private void initForm()
      {
      }
      protected void onDocumentLoad(Object sender, Event e)
      {
         DhTable table=new DhTable();
         table.setBorder(1);
         add(table);
         DhRow row=new DhRow();
         table.add(row);
         DhRow row2=new DhRow();
         table.add(row2);
         DhCell cell=new DhCell();
         row.add(cell);
         cell.setValue(5);
         row2.add(new DhCell("value:"+cell.getValue()));  // 5
   
         cell=new DhCell();
         row.add(cell);
         cell.setValue(12);
         cell.setText("HelloWorld");
         row2.add(new DhCell("value:"+cell.getValue()));  // 0
   
         cell=new DhCell();
         row.add(cell);
         cell.setText("-10");
         row2.add(new DhCell("value:"+cell.getValue()));  // -10
   
         cell=new DhCell();
         row.add(cell);
         cell.setText("38.3");
         row2.add(new DhCell("value:"+cell.getValue()));  // 0
      }
   }
   						

3. Modify Page1.html as follows:

   <HTML>
   <BODY>
   <hr>
   <OBJECT classid="java:com.ms.wfc.html.DhModule"
        height=0 width=0 ... VIEWASTEXT>
   <PARAM NAME=__CODECLASS VALUE=Class1>
   <PARAM NAME=CABBASE VALUE=Project1.CAB>
   </OBJECT>
   <!-- Insert HTML here -->
   <FONT color=BLUE>
   <SPAN id="coloredText">Testing...</SPAN>
   </FONT>
   </BODY>
   </HTML>
   						

4. Run the project.

RESULT: You will get the following web page:

   5         HelloWorld    -10          38.3
   value:5   value:0       value:-10    value:0
