Hi All

I'm having trouble shifting the input focus to a child dialog that I
create. The list item is moved to the child OK but I can't focus
on it. Here is the fragment...

Code:

:renameDialog
    DIALOG CREATE,Rename,-1,0,284,72,NOMIN
    DIALOG ADD,BUTTON,OK,8,206
    DIALOG ADD,BUTTON,Cancel,38,206
    DIALOG ADD,EDIT,CEDIT1,10,10
    dialog select,0
    %i = @index(list101)
    %t = @item(list101,%i)
    dialog select,1
    dialog set,cedit1,%t
    dialog focus,cedit1
    DIALOG SHOWMODAL


When I try to shift the focus to cedit1 I get an error.

Any idea's

Thanks

David...

It's a paradox apparently you cannot focus on an element of a non-visible window, which is the case until "DIALOG SHOWMODAL" is executed and then code execution halts at SHOWMODAL not allowing a focus command to follow. I would recommend replacing SHOWMODAL with SHOW and moving "dialog focus,cedit1" to follow DIALOG SHOW. Obviously you'll need to add a child window event handler loop.

Oops I forgot about TAB Order just move the edit element up to the first position this should give it focus...

Code:

:renameDialog
    DIALOG CREATE,Rename,-1,0,284,72,NOMIN
    DIALOG ADD,EDIT,CEDIT1,10,10
    DIALOG ADD,BUTTON,OK,8,206
    DIALOG ADD,BUTTON,Cancel,38,206 
    dialog select,0
    %i = @index(list101)
    %t = @item(list101,%i)
    dialog select,1
    dialog set,cedit1,%t 
    DIALOG SHOWMODAL


BTW: remove the focus command as well
