num lock

[realm174]

Howdy friends!

I am running a FPD26a app in a windows environment (from 98 to xp, on a network). In a lot of cases, when people alt-tab to other applications and come back to the fpd one, the status of num luck has changed Is there a fpd way to force the num lock in a certain state?



Cheers,

You can indeed turn Numlock on within Foxpro by using:
=NUMLOCK(.T.)

But, from your description, your problem may not be solved by doing so. It sounds as though your users might be changing the Numlock setting when they Alt+Tab over to another application. If so, you would not know that when they returned to the Foxpro application so you would not know to set it back ON.

I guess that you could possibly repeatedly turn it ON within your various GET's WHEN functions so as to ensure it would be on when the user needed it.

Good Luck,
