The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows, version 3.0
  • Microsoft FoxPro for Windows, versions 2.5x, 2.6x
  • Microsoft FoxPro for Macintosh, versions 2.5x, 2.6a

Menu popups will not appear under certain circumstances when the number of options in a popup exceeds a certain limit in FoxPro for Windows.

For example, using the CUSTOMER.DBF file (500 records) located in the FOXPRO25\TUTORIAL directory, the following program will work in FoxPro for MS-DOS but not in FoxPro for Windows: 

   SET SYSMENU TO
   SET SYSMENU AUTOMATIC

   USE customer

   DEFINE PAD test OF _msysmenu PROMPT "Test"
   ON SELECTION PAD test OF _msysmenu ACTIVATE POPUP test
   DEFINE POPUP test PROMPT FIELD company
