SUMMARY

In the Screen Builder's Screen Picture dialog box, there is no direct method of assigning a VERB clause to a general field. This clause can be added by entering it in the Expression Builder.

MORE INFORMATION

The syntax in FoxPro to execute a VERB clause with an @ ... SAY command for a general object is: 

   @ <row,column> SAY <general field> VERB <expN> | <expC>
The command verb can be either a numeric expression <expN> or a character expression <expC>. Command verb numbers start at 0 and are available for each installed object linking and embedding (OLE) server application.

To include a verb in the Screen Builder, the VERB clause should be added in the expression. For example: 

   myole VERB 2

   -or-

   myole VERB "PLAY"
This will cause the general field "myole" to be executed with the proper VERB clause for that object.
