SYMPTOMS

MORE INFORMATION

NOTE: In Visual FoxPro for Windows, the Screen Builder has been replaced by the Form Designer, which does allow you to create a screen smaller than 50 x 50 pixels.

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

  1. In the Command window, type "CREATE SCREEN" (without the quotation marks).

  2. From the Screen menu, choose Layout.

  3. In the Width spinner box, delete the size currently listed. Type "49" (without the quotation marks) for the new size.

  4. Press the TAB key.

    Note that the number automatically changes to "50".

  5. In the Height spinner box, delete the size currently listed. Type "49" (without the quotation marks) for the new size. Press the Tab key.

Again, note that the number automatically changes to "50."
