PRB: Right Mouse Functions Incorrectly w/ IntelliPoint Driver

ID: Q131253

3.00 WINDOWS kbtool kbprb

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows, version 3.0

SYMPTOMS

In Visual FoxPro for Windows, a right mouse click displays a context- sensitive short-cut menu for that specific function or area. If the secondary button option of the IntelliPoint software's Button tab is enabled, the Visual FoxPro context-sensitive short-cut menu items are disabled when a right mouse click is executed.

CAUSE

The settings in the IntelliPoint driver (Version 1.1) override the settings specific to an application.

WORKAROUND

To enable the right mouse button functions of Visual FoxPro, the setting for the Secondary button must be set to Unassigned.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.

MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

1. Access the IntelliPoint Mouse driver settings by choosing Mouse from the

   Control Panel, or by clicking the 'IntelliPoint Tools & Controls' icon
   in the 'Microsoft Input Devices' group.

2. On the Buttons page, assign the Seconday button to Help.

3. Observe that in Visual FoxPro, clicking the right mouse button now

   displays the Help topics rather than the appropriate task list available
   for that particular Visual FoxPro feature.
