VFP evaluate Something() every time the popup is showed or painted,
this overwrite the skip flag.

Then you can't control the bar with a SET SKIP when a SKIP FOR is defined.

Solution1:
put the init logic within the Something() procedure

Solution2:
- start with

DEFINE BAR 1 OF file PROMPT "\<Test"

- apply the init skip flag
- when you want to activate the Something() procedure,
redefine the bar

DEFINE BAR 1 OF file PROMPT "\<Test" ;
	SKIP FOR Something()
