PRB: Visual FoxPro Gives @...GET a Default Caption (138395)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows 3.0
This article was previously published under Q138395 SYMPTOMS
When using the @...GET command to create a check box, option button, or
command button, Visual FoxPro gives the controls a default prompt. The
following list shows the default prompts Visual FoxPro assigns:
check box 'check1'
command button 'command1'
option button 'option1'
RESOLUTION
Here are three possible resolutions to this issue:
- Create a form using the form designer. For each of the controls, set the
caption property to spaces.
- Define a class based on the Visual FoxPro form class. Add the controls
to the form, and set the Caption property to "". The following code
demonstrates this method:
*** Start Program ***
*
* The first five lines instantiate a form named 'newform' and add
* the command button, option button, and check box controls to the form.
*
***
PUBLIC newform
newform = CREATEOBJECT("FORM")
newform.Addobject("Command1","CommandButton")
newform.Addobject("Check1","CheckBox")
newform.Addobject("Option1","Optionbutton")
*
* The next few lines set properties for the controls.
*
newform.Check1.Top = 20
newform.Option1.Top = 40
newform.setall('Caption', "")
newform.setall('Visible',.T.)
newform.show &&Shows the form
***End Program ***
- Use a SHOW GET command in the WHEN clause of the READ, for example;
*** Start Program ***
*
DEFINE WINDOW window1 FROM 1,10 TO 40,40 FLOAT CLOSE
ACTIVATE WINDOW window1
@ 5,5 GET command1 ;
PICTURE "@*HN" ;
DEFAULT 1
@ 8,5 GET option1 ;
PICTURE "@*RVN" ;
DEFAULT 1
@ 11,5 GET check1 ;
PICTURE "@*C" ;
DEFAULT 1
READ CYCLE WHEN do_when()
RELEASE WINDOW window1
PROCEDURE do_when
SHOW GET command1,1 PROMPT SPACE(0)
SHOW GET option1, 1 PROMPT SPACE(0)
SHOW GET check1,1 PROMPT SPACE(0)
*
*** End Program ***
STATUS
This behavior is by design.
