{| = BUG: Push Button Require Two Mouse Clicks Instead of One =
 * width="100%"|

ID: Q125615

The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows, versions 3.0, 3.0b, 5.0, 5.0a, 6.0
 * Microsoft FoxPro for Windows, versions 2.5a, 2.5b, 2.6x

SYMPTOMS
When a POPUP is defined and activated in FoxPro version 2.5 for Windows, it requires a single mouse click to get the focus and activate a GET object. However, in versions 2.5b and later, it requires two mouse clicks to activate a GET object such as a push button.

RESOLUTION
Although this problem occurs in Visual FoxPro, this situation can be avoided by using the Visual FoxPro Form Designer and its Multiselect functionality.

If the reason for using a User Defined POPUP is to get the Multiple-Select look in a popup, the workaround for this problem is to create a multiple- select GET POPUP object as outlined in the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

ARTICLE-ID: Q104258 TITLE    : Sample Code for Creating Multiple-Selection GET List Box

STATUS
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 following code example demonstrates this problem. To clearly see the problem, you need to run the code in version 2.50 and then again in version 2.50b or later.

1. Place the following code in a new program file:

DEACTIVATE POPUP ALL DEACTIVATE WINDOW ALL CLEAR ALL CLOSE ALL SELECT A     USE C:\fpw26\foxhelp

STORE 0 TO ok     STORE 0 TO CANCEL

DEFINE WINDOW grupri ; FROM 5.5,16 TO 24.5,90 TITLE "Selection"; NOFLOAT ; NOCLOSE ; NOMINIMIZE ; COLOR RGB(0,0,0,192,192,192) ; SYSTEM

ACTIVATE WINDOW grupri NOSHOW SAME

SELECT A     DEFINE POPUP grupri FROM 2.5,40 TO 7,60 IN WINDOW "grupri"; MULTISELECT SCROLL MARGIN SET MARK OF POPUP grupri TO "" GO TOP FOR i = 1 TO 10 DEFINE BAR i OF grupri PROMPT TOPIC SKIP NEXT

ACTIVATE POPUP grupri NOWAIT @ 13.4,12.800 GET okey ; PICTURE "@*HN Ok" ; SIZE 2.215,13.167,0.667 ; DEFAULT 0 ; FONT "MS Sans Serif",8 ; STYLE "B"

@ 13.4,26.800 GET CANCEL ; PICTURE "@*HT Cancel" ; SIZE 2.215,13.167,0.667 ; DEFAULT 0 ; FONT "MS Sans Serif",8 ; STYLE "B"

READ CYCLE DEACTIVATE WINDOW ALL DEACTIVATE POPUP ALL CLOSE ALL CLEAR ALL RETURN 2. Run the code, and select an item from the popup. Then Click the Cancel button. Using version 2.50, you need to click Cancel to cancel the program, but using version 2.50b or later, you need to click the Cancel button twice.
