SYMPTOMS
When a form is run, the form's window appears but none of the form's objects are displayed. Any window from any application that is dropped over the form and then moved off leaves an image in the form.



CAUSE
The Form Builder was activated and canceled. The LockScreen property of the form is set to true (.T.).



WORKAROUND
To correct this problem, open the form in the Form Designer. Set the LockScreen property of the form to false (.F.).



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. This problem was corrected in Visual FoxPro 3.0b for Windows.



Steps to Reproduce Problem

 * 1) Open a new or existing form or formset.
 * 2) Activate the Form Builder.
 * 3) Select the Cancel button at any step.
 * 4) Save and run form. No objects appear in form.
 * 5) Drag any window from any application over the Visual FoxPro form and drop it.
 * 6) Drag the window off of the form.
