FIX: Mouse Click Browse Scroll Bars Ignored for TIMEOUTID: Q128099 2.60a | 2.60a WINDOWS | MACINTOSH kbprg kbbuglist The information in this article applies to:
SYMPTOMSLeft mouse button clicks on the Scroll Bar are not considered input when a Browse window is activated with the TIMEOUT clause. STATUSMicrosoft 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 3.0 for Windows. MORE INFORMATIONWhen a Browse window is activated with a TIMEOUT clause, the Browse window will close after the specified time interval even though you are constantly clicking, with the leftmouse button, on the Vertical or horizontal Scroll Bars. As a result, under FoxPro for Windows and Macintosh, Mouse Clicks on the Browse Scroll Bars are ignored(not considered as input) by the Timeout clause whereas under FoxPro for MS-DOS the Mouse Clicks are not ignored in this fashion. Steps to Reproduce Problem1. Using FoxPro for Windows or Macintosh, create a Program named TEST.PRG by using this code: USE C:\FOXPROW\TUTORIAL\CUSTOMER.DBF BROWSE TIMEOUT 5 2. Run the Program under FoxPro for Windows or Macintosh. 3. When the Browse window comes up, use the left mouse button to click continuously in the Horizontal or the Vertical scroll bar. 4. Run TEST.PRG under FoxPro for MS-DOS, and repeat step 3 for about 10 seconds. In FoxPro for Windows or Macintosh, you'll see the Browse close after being open for five seconds even though you are constantly using the left mouse button to click the Scroll Bar. However, in FoxPro for MS-DOS, the Browse window does not close while you click the Scroll Bars; instead, it closes five seconds after you stop clicking the left mouse button.
