Please, Developers.
I have a dialog here, with an Edit box (Box1), where the user is to
enter some text.
Next, there is an "Execute" button, which will start a certain process.
Third, there is a "Result" edit box (Box2). The results that came from
the processing - based on the entered text in the first Edit box - will
be presented in this Resulting Box2.
Don't worry about the actual processing, or why I have this set up. It
all works as it should. What I don't seem to have a fix for, and which I
could use a bit of assistance on, is this.
When the processing has ended, and the Resulting Box2 has got updated, I
would have liked the focus to automatically jump to that box. That is,
you focus on Box 1, type in your message, hit the shortcut for the
Execute-button, and when the processing has ended, you would
automatically be taken to the Resulting Box2. Does all that make sense?
And, can it actually be done?
Tried to scroll the properties and methods of the Edit Box, in the
developer's reference, but either it did not occur very clearly, or I
might be more blind than what I thought. Smiles.
So, if anyone has a workaround, or any further suggestions, i would be
all thankful. Due to the nature of the process and handling of things,
updating the first edit box with the final results, simply is no option.
And I would much prefer not to have to call another dialog, just to
perform the displaying of the Results.
Of course, I could always depend on the user knowing that he has to tab
over to the resulting box to check the outcome, but experience tells me
most users won't realize that just out of the blue. So whatever can be
done automatically, would of course be the best.
Staff members, if this is not currently possible, could it be
implemented? Something like a PutFocusOn property for the Edit box - or
even the other controls as well - in a dialog?
Thanks,
