{| = PRB: SET READBORDER OFF Does Not Affect 3-D GET Fields =
 * width="100%"|

ID: Q115112

The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft FoxPro for Macintosh, versions 2.5b, 2.5c
 * Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Macintosh, version 3.0b

SYMPTOMS
The SET READBORDER OFF command does not affect three-dimensional (3-D) GET fields.

CAUSE
A 3-D field is created by applying shading slightly below and to the right of the GET field border. The third parameter of the SIZE clause on the @ ... GET statement controls the size of this shading.

If the border did not appear, a 3-D field could not be created.

For more information on designing 3-D GET fields in Visual FoxPro for Macintosh, version 3.0, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

ARTICLE-ID: Q155520 TITLE    : BUG: Can't Use 3-D GET Fields in Visual FoxPro for Macintosh

STATUS
This behavior is by design.

Steps to Reproduce Behavior
In the Command window, type the following commands:

CLEAR SET READBORDER OFF ACTIVATE WINDOW SCREEN getfld1= "ABCDEFG" getfld2 = "ABCDEFG" @ 1,5 GET getfld1 @ 5,5 GET getfld2 PICTURE "@3K" Note that the 3-D GET field has a border, even though READBORDER has been set to OFF.
