The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft FoxPro for Windows, versions 2.5 and 2.5a

SUMMARY
In the Screen Builder's Screen Picture dialog box, there is no direct method of assigning a VERB clause to a general field. This clause can be added by entering it in the Expression Builder.

MORE INFORMATION
The syntax in FoxPro to execute a VERB clause with an @ ... SAY command for a general object is:

@  SAY VERB  |  The command verb can be either a numeric expression  or a character expression . Command verb numbers start at 0 and are available for each installed object linking and embedding (OLE) server application. To include a verb in the Screen Builder, the VERB clause should be added in the expression. For example:

myole VERB 2

-or-

myole VERB &quot;PLAY&quot; This will cause the general field &quot;myole&quot; to be executed with the proper VERB clause for that object.
