DOCUMENT:Q155520 14-DEC-1999 [foxpro] TITLE :BUG: Can't Use 3-D GET Fields in Visual FoxPro for Macintosh PRODUCT :Microsoft FoxPro PROD/VER:MACINTOSH:3.0b OPER/SYS: KEYWORDS:kbbuglist ====================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The information in this article applies to: - Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Macintosh, version 3.0b ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SYMPTOMS ======== The "@3" PICTURE clause on an @...GET command does not produce a 3-D GET field as it did in FoxPro for Macintosh 2.6. WORKAROUND ========== Place a text box on a form, then set the SpecialEffect property to "0 - 3D" to produce a 3-D textbox. STATUS ====== Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. MORE INFORMATION ================ The "3" function code is not documented in the FoxPro 2.6 for Macintosh "Language Reference" or in the Help file. It is a check box in the Field dialog box for an Input (@...GET) field in the screen designer. Selecting this check box produces the PICTURE "@3K" picture clause when the screen is generated. Note that you can use the "K" function code to select the entire field on entry. Steps to Reproduce the Problem ------------------------------ 1. With the Visual FoxPro desktop screen visible, issue the following commands in the Command window: x=SPACE(10) @ 2,2 GET x PICTURE "@3" SIZE 1,20 Note that the GET field does not have the 3-D effect. 2. Repeat the above step in FoxPro 2.6 for Macintosh. Note that the GET field has the 3-D effect.
