PRB: MousePointer Cannot Be Set to 99-Custom for Form Objects

• Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows, versions 5.0, 5.0a

SYMPTOMS

The MousePointer property cannot be set to "99-Custom" for any of the form objects under Traditional Chinese (TC) versions of Visual FoxPro 5.0x. However, if the form is being designed under the US version of Visual FoxPro 5.0x and the MousePointer property is set to "99-Custom", the form can be successfully executed under the Traditional Chinese version of Visual FoxPro.

RESOLUTION

Create the form with the United States (US) version of Visual FoxPro 5.0a and then move the form to the Traditional Chinese version of Visual FoxPro 5.0a to add or modify localized components such as captions and labels.

NOTE: If you edit the MousePointer property, then the "99-Custom" setting is no longer available under the Traditional Chinese version of Visual FoxPro.

STATUS

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