 * width="100%"|

ID: Q97069

The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft FoxPro for Windows, versions 2.5 and 2.5a

SYMPTOMS
An @ ... GET invisible button command does not highlight an @ ... SAY field in FoxPro versions 2.5 and 2.5a for Windows.

On page L3-62 of the &quot;Language Reference&quot; manual, the &quot;Description&quot; section of the @ ... GET - Invisible Buttons command mentions that if an invisible button is placed on top of an @ ... SAY field and the invisible button is the current object, the @ ... SAY field will be highlighted. However, in FoxPro 2.5 and 2.5a for Windows, the @ ... SAY field is not highlighted.

STATUS
This behavior is by design. The documentation is incorrect.

MORE INFORMATION
The following code demonstrates this behavior in both FoxPro for MS-DOS and FoxPro for Windows:
