Events not reaching PowerBuilder DataWindow

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hi,

I'm using the dockingpane activex (13.1.0) within my powerbuilder 11.5 application. This works quite well, but when I set a datawindow control to be the child, all messages that I should be able to react on by scripting one of the datawindow events aren't fired. When looking at the messages being sent to the datawindow with Spy++ I see these messages are being sent but for some reason they don't reach the datawindow. As far as I can see all messages that has a P(osted) in front of them within Spy++ don't reach the datawindow control, the others do (like wm_setcursor). Is this a bug with the dockingpane activex or do I have to set something (a property) to make it work?

Attached is a small PowerBuilder 11.5 sample. A window with a dockingpane activex and two controls that are added as panes to it. For the listbox everything is working, for the datawindow control it isn't (clicking a row for example should select it)

Looking forward for suggestions.

Kind regards,
Aart

	Of course it could be a powerbuilder problem (and not an activex bug as I said in my previous post). Any clue will be welcomed.

	Another thought: when I click the datawindow a wm_lbuttondown and a wm_lbuttonup message is sent to the datawindow control. Codejock intercepts this message (I assume) and sent it through like it is, that is, a wm_lbuttondown message is sent to the datawindow control (when I add a custom event to the datawindow and map it to wm_lbuttondown it is indeed fired). In PowerBuilder (without placing it as a child in a codejock pane), when you click the datawindow, PowerBuilder itself intercepts the message and, depending on the place clicked, fires one of a couple of events (clicked, doubleclicked, buttonclicked etc.). Is there any way to get around this?
