PRB: Converting 2.x Screen Does Not Allow Adjustable Pageframe

If you select the Functional Conversion option when converting a screen from an earlier version of FoxPro, and then add a PageFrame control to the converted form, you will see two pages and the PageCount property cannot be modified.

When you convert a screen from an earlier version of FoxPro, the converter dialog box appears asking if you would like to convert the screen via a Functional Conversion or a Visual Conversion. The Functional Conversion provides immediate FoxPro 2.x READ compatibility so you can use forms in Visual FoxPro without making a lot of manual changes to the converted screen. The Visual Conversion creates images of forms and all controls, but it copies the code from the original FoxPro 2.x screen to a .prg file. If you choose the Functional Conversion, the newly converted form will not allow the PageCount property of a PageFrame control to be modified when a PageFrame is added to the form.

To be able to modify the PageCount, you must set the Windowtype property to Modal or Modeless.

This behavior is by design.
