The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows, versions 3.0, 3.0b, 5.0, 5.0a 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

In Visual FoxPro 3.x and 5.x, when the Closable property of a HalfHeight form is
set to .F., double-clicking the control box of the form closes the form.

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the
beginning of this article. This bug has been corrected in Visual FoxPro 6.0.

MORE INFORMATION
================

Steps to Reproduce Behavior
---------------------------

1. Create a program containing the following code:

        PUBLIC oForm
        oForm = CREATEOBJECT('Form')
        oForm.HalfHeightCaption = .T.
        oForm.Closable = .F.
        oForm.Show()

2. Save the program and run the program.

3. When the form appears, double-click the form's control box that is located in
  the upper right corner, close to the Fox icon.

The form closes despite the setting of the Closable property.

NOTE: You may need to double-click the control box several times in order to
duplicate this behavior.
