PRB: READ..DEACTIVATE Clause Does Not Execute

- Microsoft FoxPro for MS-DOS, versions 2.0 and 2.5 - Microsoft FoxPro for Windows, version 2.5

SYMPTOMS

The DEACTIVATE clause in the READ command is not executed when

   another window is brought forward.

CAUSE

The window being brought forward is not a window in the current

   READ level or the window being brought forward is launched from a
   VALID, WHEN, DEACTIVATE, ACTIVATE, or SHOW clause.

RESOLUTION

Do one of the following:

    - Use the READ..WITH clause to include in the READ command the
      window being brought forward.

    -or-

    - Put the windows in a screen set with a single READ command.

    -or-

    - In the setup code or in some procedure other than the VALID,
      WHEN, DEACTIVATE, ACTIVATE, or SHOW clauses, define and activate
      the window to be brought forward.

MORE INFORMATION

The DEACTIVATE clause requires a logical expression that determines whether the READ command is terminated. If the logical expression is true (.T.), the READ command is terminated; if the logical expression is false (.F.), the READ command is not terminated.
