FIX: DISPLAY/LIST DLLS NOCONSOLE Echo to Screen

ID: Q192345

The information in this article applies to:

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

SYMPTOMS

When using the LIST DLLS or DISPLAY DLLS commands with the NOCONSOLE clause, the .dlls still echo to the FoxPro screen.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. This bug has been corrected in Visual FoxPro 6.0.

MORE INFORMATION

Using the NOCONSOLE clause in supported FoxPro commands, prevents the information from displaying to the FoxPro screen. Unfortunately, the LIST DLLS and DISPLAY DLLS commands echo the information back to the FoxPro screen.

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

In the Command window, type the following commands:


      DECLARE INTEGER GetActiveWindow IN WIN32API  && Ensures that a dll
                                                  &&  displays.
      LIST STATUS TO FILE mystats.txt NOCONSOLE
      LIST DLLS TO FILE mydlls2.txt NOCONSOLE

Note that the FoxPro status does not appear on the FoxPro screen, however, any dlls in use, display on the screen.
