Last reviewed: April 18, 1995
Article ID: Q108201

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft FoxPro for MS-DOS, versions 2.0, 2.5, 2.5a, 2.5b

SYMPTOMS

When you are clicking between screens in a screen set in which at least one screen contains a set of radio (option) buttons as the first object, the cursor disappears from the screen.

CAUSE

The pointer is not clicked directly over an object and the first object in the screen is a set of radio buttons.

RESOLUTION

To avoid this problem, call a procedure from the screen READ-level ACTIVATE clause that would cause one of the radio buttons to be highlighted (selected). For example, the procedure could issue a command to tab forward and then tab back.

   KEYBOARD '{TAB}'
   KEYBOARD '{BACKTAB}'
