SET FUNCTION Command

  • Article

Assigns an expression (keyboard macro) to a function key or key combination.

SET FUNCTION nFunctionKeyNumber | KeyLabelName TO [eExpression]

Parameters

  • nFunctionKeyNumber
    Specifies the number of the function key assigned to the macro. For example, use SET FUNCTION 2 to specify the F2 function key.
  • KeyLabelName
    Specifies a key combination, including a function key, to which to assign the macro. Visual FoxPro supports key combinations that include function keys. You can use the CTRL or SHIFT key in combination with a function key to create additional programmable keys. For a list of key label expressions, see ON KEY LABEL.

  • TO [ eExpression]
    Specifies the series of keystrokes stored to the function key or key combination. Visual FoxPro interprets a semicolon (;) in the expression as a carriage return.
