PRB: GetLineFromChar Method Does Not Function in VFP 5.0

   =SYS(2333,0)
				

MORE INFORMATION

The GetLineFromChar method should return the line number containing a specified character position. This method returns valid values when running under Visual FoxPro 3.0b and 6.0.

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

1. Create a form and add a rich text control to the form.
2. In the Init method of the form, place the following code:

         Thisform.Olecontrol1.text=REPLICATE("a",200)
   						

3. Add a text box to the form and name it Text1.
4. Add a command button that contains the following code:

         CLEAR
         foundline=THISFORM.olecontrol1.getlinefromchar(THISFORM.text1.VALUE)
         ?foundline
         THISFORM.REFRESH
   						

5. Run the form. In the text box, type the following values, and pressing the command button after each number:

   10
   100
   150
   15
   250

Instead of returning a valid line number you may see values in scientific notation, date time values, the word .NULL., a blank value, or a memory protection error may occur. The memory protection errors seem to occur mostly under Windows NT, but they can occur under Windows 95 or Windows 98.
