Windows 7.0. For additional information, please see the following article in the

MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Behavior:

1. Paste the following code in a program (.prg) file named Test.prg, and then
  run the program from the Command window:

  CLOSE ALL
  IF !FILE("Prog1.PRG")
  	STRTOFILE("X=1","Prog1.prg")
  	STRTOFILE("X=1","Prog2.prg")
  ENDIF
  MODI PROJ Test NOWAIT
  _VFP.ACTIVEPROJECT.FILES.ADD(ADDBS(JUSTPATH(SYS(16))) + "Prog1.prg")
  _VFP.ACTIVEPROJECT.FILES.ADD(ADDBS(JUSTPATH(SYS(16))) + "Prog2.prg")
  MOVE WINDOW "Project Manager - Test" to 4,40
  _SCREEN.ADDOBJECT("cmd1","MyButton1")
  _SCREEN.ADDOBJECT("cmd2","MyButton2")
  _SCREEN.cmd2.Left = 125
  _SCREEN.cmd1.VISIBLE = .T.
  _SCREEN.cmd2.VISIBLE = .T.

  @ 2,0 SAY "When done, hit CTRL+T to clean-up"
  ON KEY LABEL CTRL+T CleanUp()

  *~~~~~~~~
  DEFINE CLASS MyButton1 AS COMMANDBUTTON
  	CAPTION = "Is Prog2 Excluded?"
  	WIDTH = 120
  	HEIGHT = 25

  	PROCEDURE CLICK
  		_VFP.ACTIVEPROJECT.REFRESH()
  		MESSAGEBOX(TRANS(_VFP.ACTIVEPROJECT.FILES(2).EXCLUDE))
  	ENDPROC
  ENDDEFINE

  DEFINE CLASS MyButton2 AS COMMANDBUTTON
  	CAPTION = "Exclude/Include Prog2 Programmatically"
  	WIDTH = 225
  	HEIGHT = 25

  	PROCEDURE CLICK
  		_VFP.ACTIVEPROJECT.Files(2).Exclude = !_VFP.ACTIVEPROJECT.Files(2).Exclude
  		MESSAGEBOX("Prog2.Exclude = " + TRANS(_VFP.ACTIVEPROJECT.FILES(2).EXCLUDE))
  	ENDPROC
  ENDDEFINE

  FUNCTION CleanUp
  	ACTIVATE SCREEN
  	CLEAR
  	ON KEY LABEL CTRL+T
  	_SCREEN.REMOVEOBJECT("cmd1")
  	_SCREEN.REMOVEOBJECT("cmd2")
  	RELEASE ALL
  	CLEAR ALL
  	CLOSE ALL

5. On the desktop, click Is Prog2 Excluded?. A value of False appears in a
  message box.
