DOC: TopIndex Property Incorrectly Documented

ID: Q180170

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows, versions 3.0, 3.0b, 5.0, 5.0a
Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Macintosh, version 3.0b

SUMMARY

The Help file and the Visual FoxPro Language Reference incorrectly states that the TopIndex property is read/write at run-time.

MORE INFORMATION

The TopIndex Property topic of the Help file states:

Specifies the item that appears in the top-most position in a list. Not available at design time; read-write at run-time.

This is incorrect. The property is read only at run-time. If you attempt to change the property, error 1743 appears with this message:

Property TopIndex is read only.
