The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows, versions 3.0, 3.0b
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SYMPTOMS
========
If a READ command is in effect in FoxPro 2.x for Windows or FoxPro 2.x for
MS-DOS at the time the F1 key is pressed, the READ command clears. Otherwise, by
default, pressing the F1 key invokes Help. The F1 key doesn't perform a CLEAR
READ command in Visual FoxPro for Windows under the same circumstances.
WORKAROUND
==========
You'll need to modify applications written in FoxPro 2.x for Windows or FoxPro
2.x for MS-DOS that depend on the F1 function key to perform a CLEAR READ
command to make them do the same thing in Visual FoxPro for Windows.
Use an ON KEY LABEL assignment to force the F1 key to perform a CLEAR READ
command. For example, add the following line to the beginning of the program
listed in the "More Information" section, and run the program again:
ON KEY LABEL F1 CLEAR READ
STATUS
======
This behavior is by design.
