PRB: Cancel Hot Key Doesn't Work in Wizard Application

• Microsoft FoxPro for Windows, version 2.6
• Microsoft FoxPro for MS-DOS, version 2.6

SYMPTOMS

When the initial screen of the Wizard application is active, pressing the C key to choose the Cancel push button does not cancel the execution of the application.

CAUSE

This is the expected behavior of FoxPro. When the Wizard application starts, the cursor in the introductory screen is in the list box titled "Select a Wizard." Whenever a list box is active within a FoxPro screen and a key is pressed, the active list object searches for the closest matching entry in the active object. Since the Select A Wizard list box contains no items beginning with the letter "C," no action occurs.

RESOLUTION
