ID: Q138875

3.00 WINDOWS kbref kbdocerr

The information in this article applies to:

• Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows, version 3.0

SUMMARY

The Visual FoxPro Language Reference manual does not document the READ EVENTS command. This is a new Visual FoxPro command that should have been listed in the Language Reference.

This documentation error has been fixed in Visual FoxPro 3.0b and 5.0 for Windows.

MORE INFORMATION

The Visual FoxPro Help file references READ EVENTS. For more information about the READ EVENTS command, search for "READ," and then select the "EVENTS" clause in the Visual FoxPro Help menu.

NOTE: In Visual FoxPro 3.0b, search for READ EVENTS in the Visual FoxPro Help file.

The READ EVENTS command starts event processing. In particular, READ EVENTS can activate a menu system by pausing code execution after a menu is displayed. READ EVENTS handles events until a CLEAR EVENTS is issued. For more information about FoxPro's event processing, please see the Visual FoxPro Developer's Guide, Chapter 4, "Understanding the Event Model."
