SYMPTOMS

After using the ResetToDefault method to set a custom class array property, attempting to DIMENSION the array causes a fatal exception error.

RESOLUTION

This behavior only appears to occur with a Visual Class. If you use a programmatic class, DEFINE CLASS myclass, for example, the fatal exception error does not occur.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a bug in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.

This bug was corrected in Visual Studio 6.0 Service Pack 3.

MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

  1. Create a Visual Custom Class called ClassTest with a new array property named MyArray(1,1). For example, type the following and add the property in the Class Designer:
    CREATE CLASS ClassTest AS CUSTOM OF ResetTest
    					
  2. Run the following code:
    ****Start of Code.
    SET CLASSLIB TO ResetTest.vcx
    PUBLIC ox
    ox = CREATEOBJECT('ClassTest')
    ox.ResetToDefault('myArray')
    DIMENSION ox.MyArray[1,3] && The failure occurs here.
    ****End of Code
    
    *****************************************************************
    * If the following class definition is included in the preceding
    * program, an error does not occur.
    *
    * DEFINE CLASS ClassTest AS CUSTOM
    * DIMENSION myArray(1,1)
    * ENDDEFINE
