Article ID: 151758

APPLIES TO
- Microsoft Visual FoxPro 3.0b for Macintosh
This article was previously published under Q151758
SYMPTOMS
When Microsoft Visual FoxPro for the Power Macintosh is running and has
focus, the Num Lock light does not light up and dim out as the Num Lock
state is toggled on and off by the user pressing the NUM LOCK key.
CAUSE
The low-level handlers that provide this functionality in FoxPro 2.6 for
the Macintosh on 68K machines do not work on the Power Macintosh.
RESOLUTION
The NUM LOCK key does set the Num Lock state correctly. This is indicated
on the Visual FoxPro status bar by the term "NUM" appearing on the status
bar when the Num Lock state is on, and the term "NUM" disappearing from the
status bar.
To turn the Visual FoxPro status bar on, enter the following in the Command
window:
SET STATUS BAR ON
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products
listed at the beginning of this article.
MORE INFORMATION
To reproduce the problem, set or clear the Num Lock on the keyboard with
the NUM LOCK key. Note that the Num Lock indicator light does not light up.
