SYMPTOMS
========
The SYS(18) function will not return the name of a GET object, only the current
GET field.
CAUSE
=====
Normally, while information is being entered in a GET field on a screen,
triggering the ON KEY= routine allows the SYS(18) function to return the name of
that field. However, this technique does not work on a GET object such as a
check box or popup. In FoxBASE+/Mac, GET objects cannot be selected with the
keyboard, nor can they remain selected after they are clicked with the mouse.
Since these GET objects cannot remain selected, the SYS(18) function will not
return the name of the object. SYS(18) also won't work if it is put in a VALID
procedure that is connected with a GET object.
MORE INFORMATION
================
The SYS(18) function returns the name of the field being entered when the
current ON KEY= routine was triggered. A READ needs to be in effect for SYS(18)
to function.
