Setfocus Problem in Textbox

[sudip]

Hello All,

I am now coming again with another query Sorry, but I can't help myself to stop asking you again and again

Description of my problem is as follows:

In my entry form I have some tool buttons eg., Add, Modify, Delete etc. I also have 2 buttons Save and Cancel, which are initially disabled. There are also some textboxes (or comboboxes) which are initially disabled. Now, when the user clicks on Add button (toolbar button), toolbar becomes disabled and Save, Cancel enabled, Textboxes (and Comboboxes) become enabled. And first textbox gets the focus. It runs fine when user clicks on Add button it runs fine, but when user uses keyboard (Alt+A) everything is ok, but the cursor at the textbox is not blinking. User has to press another key to make it blinking and type. If you want I shall make a small sample for this. In the meantime my old project can show you the problem.

Please download download/file.php?id=382 and compile. Then please open Expense Head Setup form and try to add using both Mouse and Keyboard (please check ExpMst.prg)

Code: Select all

static PROCEDURE ActivateEdit
   frmExp.Grid_1.Enabled  := .f.
   frmExp.txtSearch.Enabled := .f.
   frmExp.txtExpnm.enabled := .t.
   frmExp.txtAmt.enabled := .t.
   frmExp.txtRem.enabled := .t.

   frmExp.cmdSave.Enabled      := .t.
   frmExp.cmdCancel.Enabled      := .t.
   frmExp.ToolBar_1.Enabled      := .f.
   frmExp.txtExpnm.SetFocus
   RETURN

Thanks in advance.

With best regards.

The cursor on the textbox appears for me clicking the 'add' button or doing alt+a.

I've tested with 3.0 (test XII) and Windows 7.

Hello Master Roberto,
Thanks a lot for your reply.
After pressing Alt+A, cursor in the textbox blinks or stands still? In my computer it appears but stands still.
I am using HMG 3.0.0 Test XII and Win XP SP 2.
With best regards.

Yes. The cursor do not blink when activate with alt+a, but the textbox has the focus and typing a character are correctly received by it.

Hello Master Roberto,
Thanks a lot for reply.
If possible can you please test following (in your time ) :
Open Expense Head Setup form and press Alt+A (as before) then press SPACEBAR. In my case it opens child windows menu as follows (but when I click on "Add" button it works as usual)

I'll do. It is surely another symptom of the same problem.
