Is there a codeblock for changing active window

[gkuhnert]

Hi,

I wonder if there is a codeblock that is executed, when the active window changes? Or another approach with the same result? It should fire at the moment that a call oWinClient:GetActive() would give a different response.

(Background info: for example, if mdi-child "A" is active, I want to show a ribbon-group "a", and if mdi-child "B" is active I want to show ribbon-group "b". It is not possible by oWinA:bLostFocus because if I click the ribbon-menu, the focus is lost at this time...)

What about oWinA:bGotFocus or oWinB:bGotFocus ?

Just an idea

Anser,

bGotFocus will work for starting the group, but I want to let ribbon-group "A" disappear, when the mdi-child isn't the active window any more. But I can't do that with bLostFocus, because, for example, by clicking the ribbon-menu the mdi-child already looses focus but is still the active window.
Thanks anyway for your suggestion, maybe it's a start...

Ok, now I have implemented oWinChild:bGotFocus and oWinChild:bInit for each mdi-child.
The only problem that is left: if I close all windows or the last window I also want to let the ribbon-group disappear. But a oWin:bGotFocus for the main Window won't help in this case. Has anyone a suggestion?

How about the window's VALID clause?

It won't work in this case, because I need a block that is called after closing a mdi-child. Because at closing time I don't know, which mdi-child will become the active one after closing. Or is there any method to find out, which mdi-child will become the active one when the actual active one has been closed?

Window:A
bGotFocus ( Hide Group-B and show Group-A )
bPostEnd ( If All windows are closed, hide both groups )

Window-B
bGotFocus ( Hide Group-A and show Group-B )
bPostEnd ( If all windows are closed, hide both groups )

Any other mdichild not A or B
bGotFocus ( Hide both Group-A and Group-B )

Rao,

many thanks for your hint. This works fine!
bPostEnd is the codeblock I've been searching for

[frose]

I think James means the following combination:

Window:A
bGotFocus ( show Group-A )
VALID ( hide both groups )

It's working perfect for me!

Many times we forget that bPostEnd is a very usefull codeblock

Thanks Rao
