{| = How to Disable Browse Field "Select on Entry" Behavior =
 * width="100%"|

ID: Q113810

The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft FoxPro for Windows, version 2.5, 2.5a, 2.5b, and 2.6

By default, the contents of a field in a Windows-based application are automatically selected upon entry into the field.

To disable this feature only during a BROWSE, issue SET KEYCOMP TO DOS in the WHEN clause of the BROWSE statement. To allow "select on entry" behavior for individual fields while in this mode, use an @K picture clause where desired in a FIELDS clause list.

Example
This example assumes that a database has been selected and opened and that SET("KEYCOMP")="WINDOWS" is true:

* NO_SLECT.PRG BROWSE WHEN doson SET KEYCOMP TO WINDOWS

PROCEDURE doson SET KEYCOMP TO DOS Additional reference words: FoxWin 2.50 2.50a 2.50b 2.60 highlight replace erase overwrite delete KBCategory: kbprg KBSubcategory: FxprgBrowse
