How to Disable Browse Field "Select on Entry" Behavior

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft FoxPro for Windows, version 2.5, 2.5a, 2.5b, and 2.6

By default, the contents of a field in a Windows-based application are automatically selected upon entry into the field.

To disable this feature only during a BROWSE, issue SET KEYCOMP TO DOS in the WHEN clause of the BROWSE statement. To allow "select on entry" behavior for individual fields while in this mode, use an @K picture clause where desired in a FIELDS clause list.

Example

This example assumes that a database has been selected and opened and that SET("KEYCOMP")="WINDOWS" is true:

   * NO_SLECT.PRG
   BROWSE WHEN doson()
   SET KEYCOMP TO WINDOWS

   PROCEDURE doson
   SET KEYCOMP TO DOS
