MORE INFORMATION

This behavior seems to occur when the container's Move and MouseMove events have had code in them and, therefore, appear in the Properties sheet as having a user procedure attached to them.

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

  1. Create a form.
  2. Place a container control on the form and set the following properties and events: MouseDown event=
    WAIT WINDOW "MouseDown Event" NOWAIT
    MouseUp event=
    WAIT WINDOW "MouseUp Event" NOWAIT
    BackColor=0,0,160

  3. Open the container's Move event, add some code, and then delete it. When you return to the Properties sheet, the Move event should have [User Procedure] next to it instead of [Default]. However, it will be empty.
  4. Repeat step 3 on the MouseMove event of the container.
  5. Right-click the container and choose Edit from the short-cut menu. Place a shape or command button object inside the container and set the following properties: * If using a shape, change the BackColor Property
    BackColor=0,128,0
    Enabled=.F.

  6. Run the form.
  7. Click on the container (the blue area) and note that both the MouseDown and MouseUp events fire.
  8. Click on the shape (the green area) and note that only the MouseDown event fires.
