ID: Q97632

The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft FoxPro for MS-DOS, versions 2.0, 2.5, and 2.5a
 * Microsoft FoxPro for Windows, versions 2.5 and 2.5a

SUMMARY
The Cycle command on the Window menu is designed to switch between windows defined on the desktop. When a screen set contains several windows and a desktop screen, Cycle stops on the desktop screen. This is normal behavior, since the Cycle command is intended to be used with window screens, not the desktop.

To work around this behavior, define a window with no borders instead of using a desktop screen. This will produce a window that looks like the desktop.

MORE INFORMATION
The Cycle command is used for cycling through window screens in a screen set or windows defined on the desktop. The shortcut key CTRL+F1 can also be used to cycle through windows on the desktop.
