PRB: MS-DOS Screen Appears in .APP Run in FoxPro for Windows

Last reviewed: June 27, 1995

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft FoxPro for Windows, version 2.5

SYMPTOMS

When a cross-platform application is run in FoxPro for Windows, a screen designed for the MS-DOS platform appears.

CAUSE

When a screen is designed to look differently in MS-DOS than it does in Windows, there is an option in the Generate dialog box for MS-DOS/Windows Objects Only. When this option is selected, FoxPro only generates the screen code for the current platform. If a cross-platform application is built in FoxPro for MS-DOS with MS-DOS Objects Only selected for one or more screen sets, the .APP file will contain only the code for the MS-DOS-based version of these screens.

RESOLUTION

Open the project in FoxPro for Windows and build the application with Rebuild All selected.
