SetFocus problem

[Gianni]

With this little example you can see that if I push "OK" button with mouse all works, if I push "ALT O" on keyboard all works, if I focus on "OK" and push "SPACE BAR" all works, but if I push "RETURN", focus goes on next control instead in "address".
I have FWH 2.7 feb 2006

Thank in advance
Gianni

Code: Select all  Expand view  RUN

#include "FiveWin.ch"

Try this:

Code: Select all  Expand view  RUN

@ 6,  3 BUTTON oBtn PROMPT "&Ok"  OF oDlg SIZE 50, 12 ACTION (oGet2:ctext("OK ACTION RUN ON " + TIME()), oGet2:PostMsg(WM_SETFOCUS)) DEFAULT

Thank for answer but don't works. With "POSTMSG(WM_SETFOCUS)" it makes something strange, because I see the cursor in the get but the "real" focus is in some other control.

Try adding a oGet2:refresh() after the oGet2:setFocus().

I think you need to add an Jump
Try this:

@ 6, 3 BUTTON oBtn PROMPT "&Ok" OF oDlg SIZE 50, 12 ACTION (oGet2:ctext("OK ACTION RUN ON " + TIME()),oBtn:oJump := oGet2, oGet2:SetFocus()) DEFAULT

Gale,
thanks but don't works.

Try this:

Code: Select all  Expand view  RUN

   @ 6,  3 BUTTON oBtn PROMPT "&Ok"  OF oDlg SIZE 50, 12 ACTION ( oGet2:ctext("OK ACTION RUN ON " + TIME()),;
                                                                  oBtn:SetFocus(),;
                                                                  SysRefresh(),;
                                                                  oGet2:SetFocus() ) DEFAULT

Change
@ 2, 6 GET oGet2 VAR cAddress OF oDlg

to

@ 2, 6 GET oGet2 VAR cAddress OF oDlg UPDATE

and
@ 6, 3 BUTTON oBtn PROMPT "&Ok" OF oDlg SIZE 50, 12 ACTION (oGet2:ctext("OK ACTION RUN ON " + TIME()),oGet2:SetFocus()) DEFAULT

to

@ 6, 3 BUTTON oBtn PROMPT "&Ok" OF oDlg SIZE 50, 12 ACTION (cAddress := "OK ACTION RUN ON " + TIME(),oGet2:Refresh(), oGet2:SetFocus(), Sysrefresh()) DEFAULT

[Gianni]

Grumpy,
thanks you too but don't works.

EnricoMaria,
thanks you, know it almost works!
There is still only one case that don't works and it is when I push "RETURN" when focus is already on "OK" button. In this case focus goes on "CANCEL" button!!!
Don't you think is a FWH bug? I think that even your code almost works, it is a work around.

Gianni

[Enrico Maria Giordano]

No, I think that it is your design that is wrong.

EMG,
I don't understand what's wrong in my design.
I only need that a get take focus after a keyboard RETURN.
What's wrong in it?
SETFOCUS will be ignored when I use RETURN key. If I use another way ( mouse or SPACE or accelerator) all works. This different behaviour make me to think that it is a bug even my design was wrong.

Sorry, I would have to say "perhaps". Anyway, this is a sample that solves the last problem:

Code: Select all  Expand view  RUN

   @ 6,  3 BUTTON oBtn PROMPT "&Ok"  OF oDlg SIZE 50, 12 ACTION ( oGet2:ctext("OK ACTION RUN ON " + TIME()),;
                                                                  oGet2:SetFocus(),;
                                                                  SysRefresh(),;
                                                                  oGet2:SetFocus() ) DEFAULT

EMG,
