SYMPTOMS
After you start your application, the Close button (the button displaying
an "x" in the upper-right corner of the window) is either dim or does not
appear at all.
Applications known to exhibit this behavior include:
- Microsoft FoxPro for Windows, versions 2.5 and 2.6
CAUSE
Some applications draw their own caption and title bars. This prevents the
Windows 95 Close button from appearing or being enabled.
WORKAROUND
Microsoft FoxPro for Windows
The Close button is dim in FoxPro for Windows because FoxPro deletes all
the items in the System menu. It then enters its own items into the System
menu, thus preventing Windows 95 from properly executing the Close button
detection code.
Currently, no workaround is available for this behavior.
