         x.Show
   

         **************************************************

         *
         DEFINE CLASS form1 AS Form
           Top = 0
           Left = 0
           DoCreate = .T.
           Caption = "Form1"
           Name = "Form1"
   
           ADD OBJECT edit1 AS EditBox WITH ;
                 Height = 217, ;
                 Left = 12, ;
                 Top = 12, ;
                 Width = 121, ;
                 Name = "Edit1"
   
   
           PROCEDURE Click
                 KEYBOARD REPLICATE( "a{enter}", 60 ) PLAIN
                 KEYBOARD REPLICATE( "a{enter}", 60 ) PLAIN
                 KEYBOARD REPLICATE( "a{enter}", 60 ) PLAIN
                 KEYBOARD REPLICATE( "a{enter}", 60 ) PLAIN
           ENDPROC
   
         ENDDEFINE
         *

2. Click anywhere on the form outside of the Edit box region. NOTE: this populates the edit region with multiple lines of the letter "a."

3. Click into any active window outside of the form, such as the Command window. NOTE: The error is generated.
