[DUG] Odd problem with Tedit

[John Bird]

Yes I have tried all sorts of things like setting TabStop  to false, and most hopefully setting the control second in the Tab Order list with focus going to another control and then doing a Setfocus to the one I want.   It still does not fix it.   Also been playing with Autoselect and ShowSelect, and IMEMode.   Nothing makes any difference - I am convinced its something in the way the program is built

Is there a way to programatically set the focus more than what Setfocus does?

Hi John,

Have you tried to set the tab order to 1 (or 0 - can't remember which is the "accepted" first) for this control ?

Cheers,

Pieter

  This one has me foxed.   I have a standard unit which is a form dialog at the start of many programs - which gets an access code and a password.

  In one program only it misbehaves - the Tedit fields never seem to get focus properly, so although the users can type text, there is no cursor and the onexit event of the TEdit does not fire.   Also default text in the Tedit does not show as selected.   Subsequent returns to this and other edit boxes do behave properly.

  This is Delphi 2007 - problem shows for this program on Windows 7 and XP.  XP Manifest is in use.  Very little processing before this dialog form is shown...

  Note I have already done code like Edit1.Setfocus   -- it does not fix the problem.

  Anyone have any ideas???   Normal build and compile all and deleting all dcus has not fixed it.

  Also is there any way to force a Tedit to have its text selected.   

  John
