Incorrect Program Example for PUSH POPUP Command

• Microsoft FoxPro for MS-DOS, version 2.5
• Microsoft FoxPro for Windows, version 2.5

SYMPTOMS

When the program example for PUSH POPUP command on page L3-768 of the "Language Reference" manual is executed, the "popexam" popup flashes on the screen very quickly and then the popup disappears. This program example does not pause to demonstrate how PUSH POPUP works.

CAUSE

The program example for the PUSH POPUP command in the "FoxPro Language Reference" is missing several WAIT commands. The WAIT commands allow the program to pause to demonstrate how PUSH POPUP works during program execution.

RESOLUTION

To correct this problem, do the following:

1. Copy the program example from Help for the POP POPUP command or refer to the program example in the "Language Reference" manual for the POP POPUP command. The POP POPUP command has the same program example as the PUSH POPUP command.

2. Insert the following WAIT commands in the empty lines between the ACTIVATE POPUP and the RELEASE POPUP commands:

         DEFINE POPUP popexam FROM 5,5
   

         DEFINE BAR 1 OF popexam PROMPT 'One'
         DEFINE BAR 2 OF popexam PROMPT 'Two'
         DEFINE BAR 3 OF popexam PROMPT 'Three'
         DEFINE BAR 4 OF popexam PROMPT 'Four'
   

         ACTIVATE POPUP popexam NOWAIT
         PUSH POPUP popexam
         WAIT 'Popup pushed' WINDOW
         RELEASE BAR 2 OF popexam
         WAIT 'This is the modified Popup' WINDOW
         POP POPUP popexam
         WAIT 'Popup popped, original popup restored' WINDOW
         DEACTIVATE POPUP popexam
         RELEASE POPUP popexam
