Hi,
We have an ABL application with a main window that has a number of OCX compaonents within it. One of these is an OCX HTML component.
The Application has an "ON CTRL-F ANYWHERE" trigger that lauches a search application dialog.
The sequence of events is;
1. Open the application.
2. hit CTRL-3 and the search application opens.
3. Click into the browse OCX and hit CTRL-F and the browse search opens (expected).
4. Click out of the browse OCX (anywhere in the app) and hit CTRL-F and the browse search opens, not the app search.
I've tried various was of returning focus to the app window to re-enable the CTRL-F functionality but to no avail.
The HTML OCX itself has a leave trigger but this seems unreliable and even when it does fire I can't get the main window to gain focus even though it looks to have done.
The method I was using to try to get the window to regain focus was to apply entry to one of the ABL FILL-INs in the windows default frame.
Any assistance wth this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
P.S. We are using OE102A.08
A little bit of guesswork here, but you could try to place a button outside of the ocx. In the choose-trigger place some code to disable the ocx. After that, try the CTRL-F again. Is your application responding now? If yes, then you should think of a way to automatically disable the ocx when the user leaves it (or when the user re-enters the frame).
Second option is to re-think the layout of the window. Of course I don't know it, but would it be an option to separate the ocx-part into its own pop-out window? If the user then decides to leave it, you could close that window and the problem would be gone as well.
Thanks for the ideas Patrick. I'll try these later today.
