The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft FoxPro for Windows, version 2.6
  • Microsoft FoxPro for MS-DOS, version 2.6

SUMMARY

The Catalog Manager contains an AutoScreen tool that creates and runs a screen for the active table or query using the default settings in the Screen Wizard. This tool is disabled if no table or query is in use.

MORE INFORMATION

To run the AutoScreen tool, choose the AutoScreen button (above the Label tab) in Catalog Manager, or choose AutoScreen from the Tools menu.

Choosing the AutoScreen tool brings the Screen tab to the front. After the screen is generated and compiled, it runs.

Each field appears on a separate line with a label to its left.

Default Screen Wizard Settings

  • Selected Fields: All.
  • Screen Name: First six characters of the table name, followed
                         by an underscore (_), then the number "1". (If
                         that table name already exists, the next
                         available number is used). For example, if the
                         table name is "CUSTOMER," the first screen
                         created is "CUSTOM_1." The next screen created is
                         "CUSTOM_2," and so forth.
    
  • Sort Order: First field in the table.
  • Style: Standard.
  • Button Type: Text.
  • Title: Table name. The title appears at the top of the
                         screen. In FoxPro for Windows, it also appears in
                         the title bar.
    
    
NOTE: In FoxPro for Windows, screens created with the AutoScreen tool can later be modified using either the Screen Wizard or the Screen Builder tool. In FoxPro for MS-DOS, they can only be modified using the Screen Builder tool.
