SYMPTOMS
The text string on the Status Bar does not show the correct object StatusBarText property with the SetFocus method.



WORKAROUND
You can substitute KEYBOARD '{TAB}' for the line thisform.text1.setfocus as many times as necessary to move to the desired object.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. This problem has been fixed in Visual FoxPro 5.0 for Windows.



Steps to Reproduce Problem
 Create a form with three text boxes and one command button. Edit the property of each of the text boxes and the command button with a unique text string for the StatusBarText property.  In the Click event procedure of the command button, enter this code: THISFORM.TEXT1.SETFOCUS THISFORM.REFRESH  Run your form.

You will observe that you can press the TAB key or click to and from any object on the form, and you will see the correct text on the Status Bar for the object that has the focus.

However, if you click the command button, the pointer moves to the Text1 object, but you will see that the text on the Status Bar is from the property of the command button and not the current object (Text1).
