SUMMARY

The Help file and the Visual FoxPro Language Reference incorrectly states that the TopIndex property is read/write at run-time.

MORE INFORMATION

The TopIndex Property topic of the Help file states:

Specifies the item that appears in the top-most position in a list. Not available at design time; read-write at run-time.

This is incorrect. The property is read only at run-time. If you attempt to change the property, error 1743 appears with this message:

Property TopIndex is read only.
