KEYBOARD FOCUS

[MOZER]

is there a way other than 'act' to put the keyboard focus in a rich text box ? i have the handle for the box just trying to put focus in it. act works sometimes but it does something funny to the rich text box other times.

What is funny? Can you show all the code?

If in dialog, you can use SetFocus.

whats funny = the text box takes the enter key some what like a chat box and when i act it sometimes i can longer use the enter key to input text.

i tried using SetFocus didnt seem to work im not sure of how to use this functon i could not find much info on it, and this is an outside app im controling not a qm dialog.

i found some things on WM_SETFOCUS seems like this is something that would work along with WM_KILLFOCUS, but using these just make the text box have keyboard focus but i can not type in it ? what ever window is ACTIVE just takes the focus back.

Code:

Copy      Help

int hwnd=id(402 "RUN TIMER")
act hwnd

If Tab can be used, try to insert this after act hwnd:

key TST

Or instead of act use lef:

lef 3 3 hwnd

Or send mouse message:

SendMessage hwnd WM_LBUTTONDOWN 1 0
0.02
SendMessage hwnd WM_LBUTTONUP 0 0

----

To test I made exe from this code:

Code:

Copy      Help

;\Dialog_Editor

str controls = "3"
str rea3
if(!ShowDialog("" 0 &controls)) ret

;BEGIN DIALOG
;0 "" 0x90C80A44 0x100 0 0 222 134 "Form"
;1 Button 0x54030001 0x4 120 116 48 14 "OK"
;2 Button 0x54030000 0x4 170 116 48 14 "Cancel"
;3 RichEdit20A 0x54233044 0x200 4 4 96 48 ""
;END DIALOG
;DIALOG EDITOR: "" 0x2020001 "" ""


, and used this code to set focus:

Code:

Copy      Help

int hwnd=id(3 "Form")
act hwnd

It always worked well.

why not 'act" the window and id?????? would that not work???

[Gintaras]

Usually works, but maybe the program also needs a mouse click.
