PRB: Single Letter SCX Name Not Permitted in ON KEY LABEL

 Last reviewed: January 10, 1997
Article ID: Q156059
The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows, version 5.0

SYMPTOMS

The following error occurs when you use any of the first ten characters of the alphabet (a-j) as a single letter SCX name and an ON KEY LABEL command to reference the form object: 

    "Unrecognized Command Verb"

WORKAROUND

Change the name of the form so it uses a different letter or has multiple characters in the name.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.

MORE INFORMATION

The first ten characters of the alphabet (a-j) are not supported as SCX names that can be referenced by the ON KEY LABEL command; these characters are reserved for dBASE compatibility. However, if you use any alphabet letter after "j," or any other multiple letter name, it will work properly.

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

  1. Create a form, and save it as "g.scx" (without the quotes).

  2. Add a couple of Textboxes to the form.

  3. In the Init Event of the form, put the following code:

    ON KEY LABEL F4 g.text2.setfocus()

  4. Run the form.

Note that the error occurred with "Unrecognized Command Verb."
