Hi Thomas,
I will became mad with this focus. I have created a Field object as an
extension of WMEditors.Editor, and I'm using it for building forms. The
initialization is:
multiLine.Set(FALSE); takesFocus.Set(TRUE); tv.needsTab.Set(FALSE);
Let suppose we have field1 and field2 in a form (Panel), in this exact
order. I put the focus on field1 by pointing with the mouse. The red
cursor indicates the focus, and the editor works fine. When I push the
TAB key, the field1 should lose the focus, and the field2 should catch
it, as the next component that accepts focus. But this didn't happens.
The cursor rests on field1.
I have trace the focus chain (enabled TraceFocusChain) and write more
tracing code to see what happens. It looks normal. The FocusNext finds
the field2 and calls his SetFocus method. The old chain form..field1 is
deleted and the new form..field2 is created. The FocusLose of the field1
and FocusReceived of the field2 are called, but the cursor rest on filed1.
It must be something I don't understand here, even if I looked
WMComponents, WMTextViews and WMEditors a 100 times.
Thank you,
Dan Parnete
