TITLE   :BUG: Edit Region with Three Lines Doesn't Have Scroll Bar
PRODUCT :Microsoft FoxPro
PROD/VER:MACINTOSH:2.5b,2.6a,3.0b
OPER/SYS:
KEYWORDS:kbcode

======================================================================
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft FoxPro for Macintosh, versions 2.5b, 2.6a 
 - Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Macintosh, version 3.0b 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

When you create an edit region on a FoxPro for Macintosh screen, the scroll bar
doesn't appear even though the SCROLL clause is included and the SIZE clause of
the @ ... EDIT command makes the edit region three lines tall. (In FoxPro for
Windows, an edit region will have a scroll bar if the edit region is three or
more lines tall.)

CAUSE
=====

This behavior is caused by differences between the Windows and Macintosh
operating systems.

RESOLUTION
==========

To work around this problem, change the SIZE clause so that it makes the @ ...
EDIT region at least five lines tall. The scroll bar will now appear.

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in FoxPro version 2.5b for
Macintosh. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in
the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

MORE INFORMATION
================

Steps to Reproduce Problem
--------------------------

The following sample program demonstrates edit regions that have and do not have
a scroll bar even though the SCROLL clause is included on the @ ... EDIT
command. This program uses the SALESMAN database that is in the FOXPRO:TUTORIAL
subfolder.

      USE salesman
      DEFINE WINDOW test AT 0,0 SIZE 15.000,63.000 ;
         TITLE "Salesman" FONT "Geneva", 13 FLOAT CLOSE
      SCATTER MEMO MEMVAR
      ACTIVATE WINDOW test NOSHOW
      @ 3.125,1.750 EDIT m.notes SIZE 4.000,83.400,0.000 ;
         FUNCTION "@2K" DEFAULT "" FONT "Geneva",9 SCROLL
      @ 6.938,1.875 EDIT m.notes SIZE 5.000,83.000,0.000 ;
         FUNCTION "@2K" DEFAULT "" FONT "Geneva",9 SCROLL
      ACTIVATE WINDOW test
      READ CYCLE
      RELEASE WINDOW test

The first EDIT region in the above program will have no scroll bar, but the
second EDIT region will have a scroll bar. Note that the scroll bar will be
disabled unless there are more than five lines of text in the edit region.
