Incorrect Program Example for PUSH POPUP Command

ID: Q95666

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft FoxPro for MS-DOS, version 2.5
Microsoft FoxPro for Windows, version 2.5

SYMPTOMS

When the program example for PUSH POPUP command on page L3-768 of the "Language Reference" manual is executed, the "popexam" popup flashes on the screen very quickly and then the popup disappears. This program example does not pause to demonstrate how PUSH POPUP works.

CAUSE

The program example for the PUSH POPUP command in the "FoxPro Language Reference" is missing several WAIT commands. The WAIT commands allow the program to pause to demonstrate how PUSH POPUP works during program execution.

RESOLUTION

To correct this problem, do the following:

1. Copy the program example from Help for the POP POPUP command or

   refer to the program example in the "Language Reference" manual for
   the POP POPUP command. The POP POPUP command has the same program
   example as the PUSH POPUP command.

2. Insert the following WAIT commands in the empty lines between the

   ACTIVATE POPUP and the RELEASE POPUP commands:

      DEFINE POPUP popexam FROM 5,5

      DEFINE BAR 1 OF popexam PROMPT 'One'
      DEFINE BAR 2 OF popexam PROMPT 'Two'
      DEFINE BAR 3 OF popexam PROMPT 'Three'
      DEFINE BAR 4 OF popexam PROMPT 'Four'

      ACTIVATE POPUP popexam NOWAIT
      PUSH POPUP popexam
      WAIT 'Popup pushed' WINDOW
      RELEASE BAR 2 OF popexam
      WAIT 'This is the modified Popup' WINDOW
      POP POPUP popexam
      WAIT 'Popup popped, original popup restored' WINDOW
      DEACTIVATE POPUP popexam
      RELEASE POPUP popexam
