BUG: ON KEY LABEL RIGHTMOUSE WAIT WINDOW "Text" Malfunctions

ID: Q120190

The information in this article applies to:

• Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows, versions 3.0, 5.0, 5.0a, 6.0
• Microsoft FoxPro for Windows, versions 2.5x, 2.6x
• Microsoft FoxPro for MS-DOS, version 2.6x

SYMPTOMS

Using one of the following commands results in unexpected behavior when the appropriate mouse button is subsequently pressed. The WAIT window flashes briefly on the screen and then disappears:

   ON KEY LABEL RIGHTMOUSE WAIT WINDOW "<Text>"

   -or-

   ON KEY LABEL LEFTMOUSE WAIT WINDOW "<Text>"

   -or-

   ON KEY LABEL MOUSE WAIT WINDOW "<Text>"

RESOLUTION

Two possible alternatives to using a WAIT window are:

• Instead of using a WAIT window, use a procedure that defines a window, activates it, and places an @SAY "<Text>" command inside it.

  -or-

• Use the ON KEY LABEL RIGHTMOUSE SET MESSAGE TO "<Text>" command instead of a WAIT window. The text will appear on the status bar when the right mouse button is pressed.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.

MORE INFORMATION

This command works as expected in FoxPro for MS-DOS.
