SUMMARY
An @ ... GET-List command from a Prompt Files popup does not display the drive popup in the font specified by the FONT clause.



MORE INFORMATION
On page L3-75 of the &quot;Language Reference&quot; manual, the Font section of the @ ... GET-List command mentions that a font can be specified for a list. The list itself will be displayed in the font specified, but the drive popup (which is displayed by selecting the first option in the list) will not be displayed in the specified font.

The following code demonstrates this behavior: CLEAR SET TALK OFF STORE 1 TO mchoice

DEFINE POPUP scrollopts FROM 0, 0 PROMPT FILES LIKE *.DBF MARGIN ; SCROLL

@ 2,2 GET mchoice POPUP scrollopts SIZE 8, 20 font &quot;ROMAN&quot;,16

READ && Activate the list. The font used for the drive popup cannot be specified because it is a &quot;true&quot; popup (that is, a popup created with the DEFINE POPUP command). True popups use whatever font is specified as the Windows system font.

The Windows system font is the font used in title bars and menu bars for all applications running under Windows. For more information about the Windows system font, please see the following article(s) in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
