[DUG] Form activation / Mouse click

[John Bird]

That might be a Windows issue?  I have seen other programs where clicking  a button in a  non-focussed app does not click the button, and some where it does.  Eg Windows Mail clicking send receive does activate the form but does not click the Send Receive button.  However a Firefox Refresh button will activate even if the Firefox Window does not have focus....

I suspect its the type of control – maybe Toolbar buttons or Speedbuttons do and others do not for instance? (guessing)

Subject: [DUG] Form activation / Mouse click

In my D7 app it is possible to have 2 non-modal forms on the screen with buttons on each.  A customer who has a touch screen says when he touches a button on the form that doesn’t currently have the focus, the button doesn’t get clicked.  First touch only activates the form and a 2nd touch is required.

 

Anyone know why that would be? I would have thought a touch on a screen touch was identical as clicking with a mouse.

 

Cheers,
Ross.
