ID: Q124354
The information in this article applies to:
Using CTNPAD() with SET COMP ON results in an incorrect return value.
Use the SET COMP OFF command instead; it results in a correct value. Otherwise, simply subtract 1 from the value being returned. In the example provided below you could substitute the line:
wait WINDOW str(cntpad('xmain'))
wait WINDOW str(cntpad('xmain')-1).
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
Steps to Reproduce Behavior
In the following example program, CNTPAD() should return 2, which it does when SET COMP is OFF. But if SET COMP is ON, CNTPAD() returns 3.
clear DEFINE MENU xmain
DEFINE PAD p1 OF xmain PROMPT "pad1" COLOR SCHEME 3 DEFINE PAD p2 OF xmain PROMPT "pad2" COLOR SCHEME 3 ON PAD p1 OF xmain ACTIVATE POPUP pad1 ON PAD p2 OF xmain ACTIVATE POPUP pad2
DEFINE POPUP pad1 MARGIN RELATIVE SHADOW COLOR SCHEME 4 DEFINE BAR 1 OF pad1 PROMPT "bar1 p1"
DEFINE POPUP pad2 MARGIN RELATIVE SHADOW COLOR SCHEME 4 DEFINE BAR 1 OF pad2 PROMPT "bar1 p2"
ON SELECT BAR 1 OF pad1 do tempk
ON SELECT BAR 1 OF pad2 do tempk
ACTIVATE menu xmain
proc tempk wait WINDOW str(cntpad('xmain')) return
