Pane Contents Disabled - Can't Type

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

   I am getting a problem where a form has a docking Pane control on it with a few docking panes created. 

One of the docking panes has another form in it with text boxes and combo boxes etc. on it.  For some reason it won't let me type on the form in that particular docking pane - no matter what form I put in that docking pane it won't allow any typing.

I have come across this before and had to work around it.

Any Ideas?

Activex version 12.0.2

Regards
Lee

	Try this and see have 2 forms - form1 and form2. add the dockingpanecontrol to form1 add a text box to form2 place the following code in form 1 and you will see that you can not type in the text box in form2. You can however type in the text box if you click on the Pane Caption Line first - which seems to activate the pane. You can't do this if your pane has no caption ! Regards Lee Private Sub Form_Load() With DockingPane1 Dim dp As Pane Set dp = .CreatePane(0, 100, 300, DockBottomOf, Nothing) dp.SetHandle Form2.hWnd End With End Sub

	Very Interesting... IF you have a textbox on form1 and Form2 then it does not move to the textbox on form2 and allow you to type when you click on it. However - if you replace the textbox on form1 with a codejock control like the FlatEdit then you can click between the two and edit them quite happily. Why is this? Lee

	Hi, Yes indeed, I get the same problem as you, but if I put a CJ text box on both forms, it 'fixes' it. However, I dont want the 2nd form to have a text box on it. Is this a bug? And when will it get fixed? Thanks, Rob.
