focus get lost

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

   I have a little problem in my editor application which uses tabbed mdi like your MDI sample where it�s able to reproduce the problem:
If I type something in the edit control the cursor/focus is there. Now if you open the HELP | ABOUT dialog and click on the OK button the cursor/focus does not return to the edit control. I have to click with the mouse into the edit control to continue typing.
Does anyone know how to prevent this behavior and make the focus return to the control it was before ?

	If you create simple MDI application (with Wizard) without CommandBars, add AboutBox as MsgBox "Version " & App.Major & "." & App.Minor & "." & App.Revision you will see same problem. It is VB problem not CommandBars. little hint: MsgBox "Version " & App.Major & "." & App.Minor & "." & App.Revision Screen.ActiveControl.SetFocus
