FIX: Receiving Error When Selecting 254th Item in List Box
This article was previously published under Q164252
When selecting an item in a list box or combo box, one or more of the
following errors may occur:
Alias 'DYNAMICFONTUNDERLINE' is not found.
Alias DYNAMICFONTSTRIKETHRU is not found.
VFP caused an invalid page fault in module Vfp.exe.
Variable '' is not found.
These errors occur when selecting the 253rd item from the list box or combo
box and then selecting the 254th item. The RowSource property has to be set
to a field in a table or query and RowSourceType can be set to either
Alias, Fields, Query, or SQL statement.
When selecting the 253rd item in the list box, it may be necessary to move
the focus to another object and then back to the 254th item in the list box
to get one of the errors to occur.
In the combo box, just selecting the 253rd item and trying to click to
display the combo list again triggers an error. These errors occur on any
table as long as the table has 254 or more records.
There are two ways to prevent these errors from occurring. One is to create
an array and change the RowSourceType property of the List or Combo box to
Array and the RowSource property to that array name. The second is to use
the Additem method to populate the list box or combo box. Following is a code example that could be added to the Init event of a list box or combo box to populate it. This code assumes that the table is already open.
GO TOP
FOR x = 1 TO RECCOUNT()
THIS.ADDITEM(<field name>) && Insert field from the table into list.

This problem was corrected in Visual FoxPro 6.0.
Steps to Reproduce Behavior
- Create a form and add the Orders table from the Visual FoxPro
\Samples\Data folder to the DataEnvironment.
- Add a list box and command button to the form.
- Set the RowSourceType property of the list box RowSourceType to Alias
and the RowSource property to the orders table.
- In the Click event of the command button, add the following code:
- Run the form and move through the list box until the item 10252 appears.
- Click the command button, and then click back to the item 10253 in
the list box. Note that one of the errors listed in the SYMPTOMS section occurs.
APPLIES TO
- Microsoft Visual FoxPro 5.0 Standard Edition
