DEFINE WINDOW IN DESKTOP Documentation Error

ID: Q95243

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows, version 3.0
Microsoft FoxPro for Windows, versions 2.5, 2.5a

SUMMARY

Page L3-430 of the "Language Reference" manual describes the IN DESKTOP clause of the DEFINE WINDOW command. The last sentence of this section incorrectly states,

The position of the window is relative to the Windows desktop, and size of the window is determined by the current font of the main FoxPro window.

This last sentence should instead read:

The position of the window is relative to the Windows desktop, and the current font of the main FoxPro window.

This statement omits the phrase, "size of the window is determined by." The size of the window is determined by the FONT clause, not the font of the main FoxPro window. The FONT clause is placed in the DEFINE WINDOW statement itself. If the FONT clause is omitted, 10-point FoxFont is used, as stated on page L3-430 of the "Language Reference."
