RE: Frustrating page tab captions
THANKS EVERYONE for the advice. I've abandoned any hope of getting it to
work and so have retooled with simply using a hyphen. I have tried all
brackets and get the same result. The pageframe is not subclassed and
nothing makes sense. I guess I am a bit surprised something as odd and
annoying as this wasnt fixed many years ago but I guess that is the cross we
bear when using Fox.
Thanks just the same!

Re: Frustrating page tab captions
If you run the sample code in the MemberClass help topic (which
demonstrates dynamic page captions), it runs correctly.

Re: Frustrating page tab captions
Don't know if this helps, but I have a form method called AfterMove which
fires whenever the record pointer changes. Among other things it changes
the caption of Page1 on the pageframe thus (members.id is integer type):
THIS.oPgf.Page1.Caption = "Details (" + TRANSFORM(members.id) + ")"
Works perfectly. The only property changed from the default value is Font
(Tahoma 9pt).

Hello all,
I still read this list but I have moved onto managing a training company now
but have a VFP contacts/mailing database we use. It all works well but I just
tried to get the caption for page1 to read "Details (X)" with X replaced by a
ranking field. brain-dead easy right? My code for this is...
thisform.pageframe1.page1.caption='Details ('+srit_db.crank+')'
The result is as follows... "(Details (X"
not only is the last parenthesis coming up first instead of last it has swapped
it around. I remember in my former career having problems with it and if I
recall right, gave up on it.
Does anyone have a reason for this behaviour and better still... a work-around?

Re: Frustrating page tab captions
What is the value of srit_db.crank?
My suspicion is that it has something VFP would consider "non standard"
ACSII.
Test it by replacing the srit_db.crank value with something else...like
"Hello World"
