We're using the CodeJock Command Bar version 10.4.1 with VB6.

 

We've found that if a form is show modally from another form with a Command Bar, the parent form can be selected from the Windows Taskbar and accelarators on the parent form can be run from the keyboard.

 

For example, say i have Form1 with a Command Bar. I then show Form2 modally from Form1. I can then select Form1 from the Windows Taskbar and hit F2 (an accelerator we've set on the command bar) which then shows another modal form.

 

This causes problems with our application as we don't expect the user to be able to execute other events when a form is displayed modally.

 

Is there a way to stop this from happening?

 

Thanks.

 

 

 

Easy solution is in Execute method check WS_DISABLED style of form.

 

 

Private Declare Function GetWindowLong Lib "user32" Alias "GetWindowLongA" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal nIndex As Long) As Long

#define GWL_STYLE           (-16)
#define WS_DISABLED         0x08000000

 

we will change it in our sources.

 

Thanks.

Meanwhile, we tested with 11.2.1 CommandBars. We also use SkinFrameWork 11.2.1 in the same module. 

I sure it was fixed after 10.4 release.

One more issue on the similar lines. Using the disabled property, we could stop the commandbars execute method. But, in this case, if the user pressed Alt+F4, windows responds to this event and closes the application even though the modal form is still on. But, the exe remains in the Task Manager.
