Author A String Locator changed to Entry control after Synchronization

Hi,

I bought a Clarion Professional version 6 to convert my clipper
application to a window application in January.
So far I like it and this group helps me very very much.
Here is my first problem I cannot find a answer anywhere.

I have a simple browse box with a string control to locate a record.
Locator type is incremental. It works fine.
After I synchronize the procedure, the String control changed to Entry
control.

I synchronized a sample program in Clarion6\Examples\Invoice.app and
the sample program also changed to entry control.

It is a clarion6 bug ?

Thanks for help.

Quite normal. The "standard" for locators is to use an entry control,
so the sychronizer makes that change. If you want your locator to be
left alone, check "Freeze" on the first page of the String Properties.
Freeze tells the synchronizer to leave the control alone.
