SYMPTOMS
The custom mouse pointer being dragged in a FoxPro window retains its icon outside the window. The icon should be reset to the default Windows pointer outside the FoxPro Window.



CAUSE
This problem occurs when the DragIcon property is set for an object and dragging is then enabled by using the Drag method or the DragMode property. Visual FoxPro does not reset the mouse pointer when it passes outside Visual FoxPro boundaries.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.



Steps to Reproduce Problem
The problem can be duplicated in Visual FoxPro 3.0 and 3.0b by running Controls.app from the Visual FoxPro \Samples\Controls directory:   Type the following commands in the Command window: SET DEFAULT TO HOME + "SAMPLES\CONTROLS" DO controls.app  Select the Understanding Visual FoxPro option. Select the See Event Firing Sequences option, and choose Run Example. Drag the Foxhead graphic. You will see that if the Visual FoxPro window is not maximized, you can drag the icon off the Visual FoxPro window, and it retains its shape as a Foxhead instead of turning into the standard Windows arrow pointer.
