I think I have found a work around for FORMS!
 
After trying all sorts of things I have discovered that if I have another Codejock control on Form 1 then I can click between textboxes on form 1 and Form 2 quite happily.  So what I have done is replace the textboxes on the Form with the DockingPane control on it (Form 1) with Codejock's own textbox control (FlatEdit) and the problem goes away.
 
Not sure why this works - but it does. :-)

So what are people doing about these focus issues? I see the problems here, and I am having them now too, but no really good clear solution. I have an MDI Form with several docking panes which contain various things on forms right now. They work fine, but when a child window is opened and focus goes to the child window, the arrow keys don't work and it seems focus returns to some random place on one of the docking panels. Clicking all around a lot sometimes gets it working again for a while. This is not acceptable though. I see that using pictureboxes instead of forms helps some, but is not a perfect solution either. I need panes that can float. What seems to work best for those that have had to deal with this before?]]> Tue, 18 Nov 2008 15:30:13 +0000 http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11719&PID=42950&title=focus-control#42950 <![CDATA[Focus control : Old thread, same problem:htt...]]> http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11719&PID=40730&title=focus-control#40730 Author: Jean

Old thread, same problem:
http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10148

And here a new thread:
http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11854

And still I didn't found the perfect solution...

Conslusion as I understand:
Forms in panes: No problem with floting panes, but problem with tab.
PictureBox/UserControl in panes: No tab problem, but lock problem with floting panes.

The main problem is from VB !
VB holds own Focus in Screen.ActiveForm and Screen.ActiveControl.
The TAB-Key is processed first from a form to change a focus.
So if you use a form, the tab works only inside the form if the form is activated by MyPane.Select().
 
Also, if a form contains a control like ComboBox or PropertyGrid, the dropdown can loose the focus of the form.
DockingPane fire also an deativated-event. But this is by design of VB.

Hello,
 
Yes, TabStop of picturebox and controls inside it have to be set to False :-( to allow float pane.

There's a solution for this issue?
Maybe in the next release?
 
Please, HELP!

Hi Oleg.
The DP focus problem has been solved, but a new problem appears...
 
When I float some pane (picturebox) I can use any main form's control (toolbar, other pane, etc). I need to close or dock the floated pane in order to work with my main form's control. It is working like the modal form.
 
Now, what can I do to solve this issue?

Hi Oleg, thanks for your answer.
The problem with the focus was solved using picture instead forms.

Hi Oleg, thanks for your answer.
I did this change, but the problem persists.
The pane take the focus, I can see the first fields focused, but when I fire the tab key, the cursor doesn't change. It stays in the first field...
 
I'm using this code:
...
DP.Panes(1).Select     'DP is the Docking Pane
FParam.SetFocus        'FParam is the Form variable
...
 
If I comment the second line (FParam...) the result is the same...
 
I'm missing something??
 
Regards,
Elvis
