CLEAR ALL Command Releases Objects Added to _SCREEN (138648)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows 3.0
This article was previously published under Q138648 SUMMARY
After adding objects to _SCREEN, you can use a CLEAR ALL command to remove
the objects from memory. The CLEAR ALL command removes all objects,
variables, and controls from memory regardless of whether they are scoped
to a form or to the screen.
MORE INFORMATION
If a form is open when you issue a CLEAR ALL command from the Command
window, the form and all of its objects disappears. If an object is scoped
to the screen with the _SCREEN.ADDOBJECT() command, the object will be
cleared from memory, but the screen will still be available. You can use
the _SCREEN.REMOVEOBJECT() command to remove objects from the screen, but
if you use the CLEAR ALL command, the objects that were scoped to the
screen will have to be recreated. These objects should be created in a
procedure or program (.prg) file, so that they can be recreated after the
CLEAR ALL command is issued.
