Re: Find/Replace

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Fred,
Thanks for this further information, however, I am still having problems
with this. If I just add the following two statements (just to try it) in
the Init code of my form, I just get an 'Edit' option on my menu, with a
'Find' sub-option which is greyed out.
The statements I have include are:
DEFINE POPUP _medit MARGIN RELATIVE SHADOW COLOR SCHEME 4
DEFINE BAR _med_find OF _Medit PROMPT "Find" KEY CTRL+F, "CTRL+F" MESSAGE
"Fidn a string"

Prior to this, I just had a statement
SET SYSMENU TO _MSM_EDIT
in my code, and this does put in the Edit menu, and the Cut, Copy and Paste
options are activated automatically as normal, and do work. However, the
Find and Replace are never activated.

I am using Visual FoxPro Version 6. Do you think this has any bearing?
What version are you using? Do the Find and Replace options get activated on
yours?

Regards,

Robin Baxter
