From: Lothar Ochmann on 31 Dec 2005 09:50 How can I set the focus to the Editcontrol of a combobox? Calling the method ComboBox:setfocus() doesn't work. THX in advance and a happy, successful New Year Lothar
From: Michael Rubinstein on 1 Jan 2006 20:09 Lothar, SetFocus() will not work on a Combo Box because it is a composite control, but you can set focus to the edit part of the Combo Box control. Something like this: METHOD ForceComboEditFocus(oMyComboBox) CLASS MyWindow LOCAL strComboBoxInfo IS _winComboBoxInfo strComboBoxInfo.cbSize := _sizeof(_winComboBoxInfo) IF GetComboBoxInfo(oMyComboBox:Handle(),@strComboBoxInfo) SetFocus(strComboBoxInfo.hWndItem) ENDIF ENDIF RETURN NIL HTH, Michael "Lothar Ochmann" <lothar(a)ochmann.net> wrote in message news:dp65s4$e4i$01$1(a)news.t-online.com... > How can I set the focus to the Editcontrol of a combobox?

From: Michael Rubinstein on 1 Jan 2006 23:58 Geoff, you are right, ComboBox:SetFocus() should work just fine. I used an existing application with a dialog on a tab page for a quick test and called SetFocus when a different tab was shown. Focus shifted to the first control in control the control once the tab with the combo box was selected, creating an illusion of the method not producing the expected result. No workaround required, whatever problem Lothar encountered must be caused by another method called after ComboBox:SetFocus().

Michael & Geoff, thanks to you! I have tested also with a new dialog & tabwin, the focus was set automaticly and remained after switching between tabs. I dont'n know, why my dialog showed an other behaviour ( I tried to set the focus manually because there was no automatic focus ) but I found a solution: After calling the setfocus() from the parentwindow it works properly. But I have a further problem with setfocus(), now is it SinglelineEdit:setfocus(). My Browserwindows have a Toolbar for seeking. Inside this tb there is a sle, which takes the keywords. This sle should have the focus, when I open the Browserwindow. Some code: // sleSuch anzeigen _oDCSleSuche:= SingleLineEdit{SELF:Toolbar,0,Point{0,0},Dimension{10,40} } _oDCSleSuche:hyperlabel:= HyperLabel{ #sleSuche, "sleSuche" } _oDCSleSuche:setstyle (WS_Tabstop+ES_AutoHScroll+WS_Child,TRUE) SELF:Toolbar:AddBand(#suche, _oDCsleSuche, , 100 , 25 ,"Suche:") _oDCSleSuche is an export instance and holds the control. I tried to call _oDCSleSuche:setfocus() in the postinit of the window or directly before oWin:show(), both without success.
