 * width="100%"|

ID: Q118745

The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft FoxPro for Windows, version 2.6

SYMPTOMS
The error message "Invalid function argument value, type, or count" is produced when the _WGetCursor function is called in FOXTOOLS.FLL.

CAUSE
The cause of this problem has not yet been determined.

RESOLUTION
Use the FoxPro Library Construction Kit (LCK) to write an .FLL containing a function that calls the _WGetCursor function. Instead of calling the _WGetCursor function in FOXTOOLS.FLL, call your function, which in turn calls _WGetCursor and returns the appropriate value.

STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in FoxPro version 2.6 for Windows. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

Steps to Reproduce Problem
Place the following code in a .PRG file and execute the file. The error message will be produced when the _WGetCursor function is called.

SET LIBRARY TO foxtools.fll

DEFINE WINDOW x FROM 10,10 TO 15,60 ACTIVATE WINDOW x
