ID: Q111810

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Macintosh, version 3.0b
Microsoft FoxPro for Macintosh, version 2.5b

SYMPTOMS

When the "-" (strikeout) STYLE clause is used on an @ ... SAY command in FoxPro for Windows, it makes the text appear to have been stricken out. However, in FoxPro for Macintosh, the "-" STYLE clause has no effect.

CAUSE

The "strikeout" font characteristic does not exist on the Macintosh as it does in Windows.

MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

Enter the following code in FoxPro for Macintosh and FoxPro for Windows:

   @ 1,1 SAY "Hello" STYLE "-"

On the Macintosh, the STYLE clause will be ignored and the text will appear as normal text.
