SYMPTOMS

STATUS

MORE INFORMATION

NOTE: This article does not apply to Visual FoxPro 3.0 for Windows.

Steps to Reproduce Problem

1. In the Screen Builder, build a small screen. From the Screen menu,

   choose Layout, and define the width as 305 and the height as 305. In the
   Name box, type "CCN_SELE" (without the quotation marks).

2. Under Options, choose the Code button, and then choose the Screen Setup

   Code button, and enter the following code:

   #NOREAD  && READ MODAL will be issued elsewhere

   CLOSE DATABASES
   SELECT 1
   USE SYS(2004)+"TUTORIAL\Customer" IN 1
   GO TOP

3. Choose the Cleanup And Procedures button and enter the following code:

   DEFINE POPUP ccnsele MARGIN SCROLL
   CUR_BAR = 1
   FOR j = 1 TO 20
     DEFINE BAR j OF ccnsele PROMPT Company
     SKIP 1
   ENDFOR

   ON KEY LABEL F12 ON KEY          && In case of trouble hit F12
   ON KEY LABEL spacebar SET MARK OF BAR cur_bar OF "ccnsele" TO ;
   !MRKBAR("ccnsele",cur_bar)

   @ 0,0 GET cur_bar PICTURE "@&T" POPUP  ccnsele SIZE 20,50 DEFAULT " "
   READ MODAL

   * Clean up environment
   ON KEY
   CLEAR WINDOW ccn_sele
   SELECT customer
   USE

4. Close the code snippet and choose Save As from the File menu. Name the

   screen CCNSELE.

5. From the Program menu, choose Generate, and then type "DO ccnsele.spr"

   in the Command window.

You should be able to mark the items that are displayed in the list by pressing the spacebar. However, scrolling down the list should eventually clear the check marks that were established for the bars.
