The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft FoxPro for Windows, versions 2.5, 2.5a

SUMMARY

Page L3-962 in the "Language Reference" manual states that system messages in FoxPro for Windows are displayed in the status bar. It should also state that if STATUS BAR is set to OFF or if there is an MS-DOS-style status bar, messages are displayed in a system window.

NOTE: Issuing the FoxPro for MS-DOS command SET DISPLAY TO VGA25 or SET DISPLAY TO VGA50 while in FoxPro for Windows will have the effect of issuing the SET STATUS OFF command.

MORE INFORMATION

In the following example, "DO CANCELLED" will be displayed in a system window instead of the status bar:

   SET NOTIFY ON
   SET STATUS BAR OFF
   FOR i=1 TO 10
      ?"test"
   ENDFOR
   CANCEL
