The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows 3.0
This article was previously published under Q138615

SYMPTOMS

At design time, you may switch between objects in the Form Designer by using the Object list located at the top of the Properties window. However, selecting a different form in a formset from this list does not make the selected form the topmost window in the Form Designer.

WORKAROUND

  • Switch between Forms by using the Form list located in the lower-left corner of the Form Designer. -or-
  • If a portion of the form is visible in the Form Designer, click the exposed portion to bring it to the front. -or-

  • If you have only one formset open, press CTRL+F6 to cycle through the forms in the Form Designer.

STATUS

Microsoft is researching this behavior and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
