BUG: Messages Are Not Cleared When Screen Is Exited

ID: Q114199

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft FoxPro for MS-DOS, versions 2.5b and 2.6

SYMPTOMS

Messages placed on the screen with the MESSAGE clause of the @ ... GET command are not cleared when a screen is exited. This behavior affects screens created with the Screen Builder or Screen Wizard.

When execution of the screen is terminated, this code will be executed and will clear the contents of line 24. Messages placed on the screen with the MESSAGE clause of the @ ... GET command are placed on line 24.

STATUS
