Hi,

I'm using the dockingpane activex (13.1.0) within my powerbuilder 11.5 application. This works quite well, but when I set a datawindow control to be the child, all messages that I should be able to react on by scripting one of the datawindow events aren't fired. When looking at the messages being sent to the datawindow with Spy++ I see these messages are being sent but for some reason they don't reach the datawindow. As far as I can see all messages that has a P(osted) in front of them within Spy++ don't reach the datawindow control, the others do (like wm_setcursor). Is this a bug with the dockingpane activex or do I have to set something (a property) to make it work?

Attached is a small PowerBuilder 11.5 sample. A window with a dockingpane activex and two controls that are added as panes to it. For the listbox everything is working, for the datawindow control it isn't (clicking a row for example should select it)

Looking forward for suggestions.

Kind regards,

Aart

Of course it could be a powerbuilder problem (and not an activex bug as I said in my previous post). Any clue will be welcomed.

Another thought: when I click the datawindow a wm_lbuttondown and a wm_lbuttonup message is sent to the datawindow control. Codejock intercepts this message (I assume) and sent it through like it is, that is, a wm_lbuttondown message is sent to the datawindow control (when I add a custom event to the datawindow and map it to wm_lbuttondown it is indeed fired). In PowerBuilder (without placing it as a child in a codejock pane), when you click the datawindow, PowerBuilder itself intercepts the message and, depending on the place clicked, fires one of a couple of events (clicked, doubleclicked, buttonclicked etc.). Is there any way to get around this?
