DOC: TopIndex Property Incorrectly Documented

 Last reviewed: January 30, 1998
Article ID: Q180170
The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows, versions 3.0, 3.0b, 5.0, 5.0a
  • Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Macintosh, version 3.0b

SUMMARY

The Help file and the Visual FoxPro Language Reference incorrectly states that the TopIndex property is read/write at run-time.

MORE INFORMATION

The TopIndex Property topic of the Help file states: 

   Specifies the item that appears in the top-most position in a list. Not
   available at design time; read-write at run-time.
This is incorrect. The property is read only at run-time. If you attempt to change the property, error 1743 appears with this message: 

   Property TopIndex is read only.
