xtpControlCustom - SetFocus Problem

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

   Hello,

I have a strange Problem using a FlatEdit-Control as a custom Commandbar control.

When the Flatedit control receives the focus, it moves to it's original position on the form.

Please take a look at the attached sample project:

Thank you,

Josef

	Try adding FlatEdit to PictureBox first, then add PictureBox to CommandBar.

	Hi, this works, but shouldn't it work without Picturebox too? Thank you, Josef

	Hi, Most controls get detached and no one has an answer for this problem so I use ALWAYS a picturebox. I don't even try anymore... I suggest you do the same

	The problem is, that CommandBars are not really a Container-Control ! You assign only a windows-handle. But if a control is contained it use the Extender-Property of the Container to get some informationes like position, backgrounds and other. If you put the control in the form, the container is the form and the positions are relative to the form. If you put a control in a picturebox, the positions are relative to the picturebox (see Left/Top-Properties). The picturebox itself don't use the extender because its a container himself. In .NET you must use a panel-control, picturebox is there not a container-control.
