@ ... Get

The @ ... GET command, in its various forms, puts FoxPro 2.x-style controls on a form. A READ then activates these controls. This whole mechanism is obsolete in Visual FoxPro. Don't use it for anything new. Use the corresponding Visual FoxPro controls instead.Some controls had their names changed in this transition. Here's a list showing old FoxSpeak and new MicrosoftSpeak:

FoxPro 2.x Control Name	VFP Control Name
