Article ID: Q120443
The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Macintosh, version 3.0b

SYMPTOMS

The SET SYSMENU TO _MWINDOW command does not disable the Window menu in FoxPro for Macintosh.

This behavior differs from FoxPro for Windows, which disables the Window menu when running the same code.

   SET TOPIC TO TRAN
