Folks,
I'm looking for some ideas on this...I haven't had the time to fully analyze it and I thought I would ask the hive minds for suggestions.
I'm working for a client that's having problems with their date fields. Piece of cake, I thought.
The two date fields on this form are straight textboxes, no subclassing whatsoever. There's a little bit of code in the Refresh method of these but all I remember is it's three lines of code. I'm pretty sure the form is subclassed but I haven't had to time to analyze the subclassing.
Anyway, enter a valid date (set century is on) such as "11/11/1111" and you blow through to the next field. Expected. Then try "22/22/2222" and the field becomes highlighted *and you cannot remove the characters*. There's no "Invalid Date" message. It feels like you're in a very tight keyboard loop and you can't break out. I can click on the close box on the form and see it depress, but no action is taken (My take is that Windows events are superceding the VFP events but once VFP takes over, it's the infinite loop). There is nothing I can do to change the invalid date even though I'm stuck in the field (Delete key does nothing, trying to enter new values to overwrite the old values does nothing, etc.).
They use jKey but I didn't notice a change of behavior if I released this library.
In short, if the user enters a bad date, they're absolutely hosed.
Any pointers?
