BUG: SET STATUS TIMEOUT TO Displaying Message Indefinitely

 Last reviewed: June 27, 1995
Article ID: Q102733
The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft FoxPro for Windows, versions 2.5 and 2.5a

SYMPTOMS

The SET STATUS TIMEOUT TO command does not work as documented on page L3-996 in the "Language Reference" manual. If the command SET STATUS TIMEOUT TO 10 is issued, FoxPro is supposed to display a message in the Windows-style status bar for 10 seconds. However, the message is displayed indefinitely until another SET MESSAGE TO command is issued.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in FoxPro versions 2.5 and 2.5a for Windows. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Problem

  1. In the Command window, issue the command SET STATUS TIMEOUT TO 10.

  2. In the Command window, issue the command SET MESSAGE TO 'This is a test'.

This message is displayed until another SET MESSAGE TO command is issued.
