BUG: Push Button Require Two Mouse Clicks Instead of One

• Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows, versions 3.0, 3.0b, 5.0, 5.0a
• Microsoft FoxPro for Windows, versions 2.5a, 2.5b, 2.6x

SYMPTOMS

When a POPUP is defined and activated in FoxPro version 2.5 for Windows, it requires a single mouse click to get the focus and activate a GET object. However, in versions 2.5b and later, it requires two mouse clicks to activate a GET object such as a push button.

RESOLUTION

Although this problem occurs in Visual FoxPro, this situation can be avoided by using the Visual FoxPro Form Designer and its Multiselect functionality.

If the reason for using a User Defined POPUP is to get the Multiple-Select look in a popup, the workaround for this problem is to create a multiple- select GET POPUP object as outlined in the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

STATUS

We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

Steps to Reproduce Problem

The following code example demonstrates this problem. To clearly see the problem, you need to run the code in version 2.50 and then again in version 2.50b or later.

1. Place the following code in a new program file:

   DEACTIVATE POPUP ALL DEACTIVATE WINDOW ALL CLEAR ALL CLOSE ALL SELECT A USE C:\fpw26\foxhelp

   STORE 0 TO ok STORE 0 TO CANCEL

   DEFINE WINDOW grupri ;

         FROM 5.5,16 TO 24.5,90 TITLE "Selection";
         NOFLOAT ;
         NOCLOSE ;
         NOMINIMIZE ;
         COLOR RGB(0,0,0,192,192,192) ;
         SYSTEM
   

         ACTIVATE WINDOW grupri NOSHOW SAME
   

   SELECT A DEFINE POPUP grupri FROM 2.5,40 TO 7,60 IN WINDOW "grupri";

         MULTISELECT SCROLL MARGIN
   

   SET MARK OF POPUP grupri TO "" GO TOP FOR i = 1 TO 10

         DEFINE BAR i OF grupri PROMPT TOPIC
         SKIP
   

   NEXT

   ACTIVATE POPUP grupri NOWAIT @ 13.4,12.800 GET okey ;

         PICTURE "@*HN Ok" ;
         SIZE 2.215,13.167,0.667 ;
         DEFAULT 0 ;
         FONT "MS Sans Serif",8 ;
         STYLE "B"
   

   @ 13.4,26.800 GET CANCEL ;

         PICTURE "@*HT Cancel" ;
         SIZE 2.215,13.167,0.667 ;
         DEFAULT 0 ;
         FONT "MS Sans Serif",8 ;
         STYLE "B"
   

   READ CYCLE DEACTIVATE WINDOW ALL DEACTIVATE POPUP ALL CLOSE ALL CLEAR ALL RETURN

2. Run the code, and select an item from the popup. Then Click the Cancel button. Using version 2.50, you need to click Cancel to cancel the program, but using version 2.50b or later, you need to click the Cancel button twice.
