PRB: Clicking a Tab of Tabbed Dialog Box Doesn't Activate Page

ID: Q132226

The information in this article applies to:

• Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows, version 3.0

SYMPTOMS

To activate a page in a tabbed dialog box, you must click the page you want and complete the click by completely releasing the mouse button.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.

MORE INFORMATION

The "activate" event does not occur until you release the mouse button. This design allows you to think about the action and even change your mind without activating the page. The mouse can be moved off the tab while the left mouse button is still down and the Mouseup event won't be interpreted by Visual FoxPro as an activate on the tab item.

This behavior is different from the way tabs behave in Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Word.
