This is causing me no end of grief - you can't even put a Custom Control on the form and set focus to that - no cursor is shown!  My form is opened by a PopupControl held on another form and when the SendKeys is called it sends Codejock into a loop and crashes the app / vb.  Very disappointing!]]> Tue, 02 Feb 2010 04:42:36 +0000 http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=15244&PID=56524&title=tip-editcontrol-setfocus#56524 <![CDATA[TIP: Editcontrol setfocus : Your right Mr. Den, That scenario...]]> http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=15244&PID=53513&title=tip-editcontrol-setfocus#53513 Author: joeliner

Your right Mr. Den,

That scenario will work where the commandbars and editcontrol is on the same form or same App. My fault, I should have mentioned this, In my production enviroment, my form that has the editcontrol is in a dll and attached to a dockingpane. the commandbars on a main form.

regards

I just tried this in a sample app and it worked with an edit field and an exit button:
 
Private Sub CommandBars_CommandBarKeyDown(CommandBar As XtremeCommandBars.ICommandBar, KeyCode As Long, Shift As Integer)
 
    Select Case KeyCode
        Case 13
            CommandBars.FindControl(, ID_PB_EXIT).Execute
           
    End Select
   
End Sub
 
As soon as I pressed the enter key, the exit button fires. Is that what you mean?

Hi Mr. Den,

Am afraid not cause i have tried .execute countless times. The scenario is like that of the new windows Mail.

You press Ctrl + E (which in our case can be a commandbarAction - ID_FIND_RECORD) and the cursor gets the focus on to the editcontrol. The user types
some text e.g. 'code' and presses enter then the Execute command is executed.

Get what I mean?

You can accomplish the same thing with the .Execute command:
 
Commandbars.FindControl(, ID_FIND_RECORD).Execute

Hi guys,

i wonder why it doesn't work out of the box but when you set editcontrol.setfocus you actually dont see the cursor blinking inside the editcontrol. Now you may not really want to execute but first allow the user to type some txt then execute. So after struggling with it for ages, this what i did:
 
Dim controlEdit as CommandBarEdit
Set controlEdit = Commandbars.FindControl(, ID_FIND_RECORD)
controlEdit.Setfocus
Sendkeys "{Enter}"
 
am sure this is something CJ can add in their code in future.
 
regards,
