The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows 5.0
  • Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows 5.0a
This article was previously published under Q167673

SUMMARY

The online Help file for Visual FoxPro 5.0 and 5.0a references a Form and a Page drop-down list in the Form Designer. However, the Form Designer in Visual FoxPro 5.0 and 5.0a does not contain these items. The Form Designer in Visual FoxPro 3.0 and 3.0b does contain these items.

The Form Designer online Help topic states: 
   Form   Specifies the active form within a form set. The Form drop-down
   list is enabled only when the Form Designer contains a form set.
 
   Page   Specifies the active page within a page frame. The Page box is
   enabled only when the type of control being modified is a page frame.

MORE INFORMATION

To access the Help file topic on the Form Designer, type HELP FORM DESIGNER in the Command window. Then choose Form Designer in the Help Topics dialog box, and choose Form Designer again in the Topics Found dialog box.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. In Visual FoxPro 3.0 or 3.0b, open the Form Designer. Note that the Form and Page drop-down list appear.
  2. Choose Form from the main menu and click on Create Form Set.
  3. Place a page frame object on the form.
  4. Choose Add New Form from the Form menu pad.
  5. Notice the Form and Page drop-down list are active.
  6. Perform the same steps in either Visual FoxPro 5.0 or 5.0a. Neither the Form or Page drop-down list objects appear.
  7. In Visual FoxPro 5.0 or 5.0a, you must use the Properties dialog box to select individual forms in a form set or pages within a page frame object.
