I am responsible for developing and maintaining a widescale CRM platform written with Visual FoxPro 9.0 (sp2 SEDNA).
Alongside a SQL 2008 back end, I make extensive use of the Microsoft Common Control libraries for the purposes of providing TreeViews, ListViews and the like (the kindof theing that VFP does handle well on its own).
I've used the controls in this manner for over a decade but this week have encountered a problem with my listviews. They simply refuse to allow me to alter columns.
Normally, you can right click the listview in the VFP development environment and select "Listview Properties" - go to the Column Headers and add, Remove, Alter columns to your heart's content.
Today, all the drop down lists in the ListView properties GUI are missing and I receive "Invalid Property Value" errors when trying to apply changes.
Now I haven't had cause to make changes in the code for a good month or so but have been developing the system in this way, using Windows 7 for almost a year without issue.
Does anyone know of anything happening to the Microsoft Common Controls libraries?
