Set Control Focus Immediately

[CyberSlug]

Is it possible to set the focus on an arbitrary control?

GUISetControlEx($controlref, $GUI_FOCUS) does not take effect until the GUI window loses focus and is reactivated?

ControlFocus will not work since I have a $ref instead of a classnameNN

(Or is there a generic GuiSendMsg that works on all control types?)

I don't really understand what is going on because it is suppose to work when the gui is showed. Can you give an example of a bug situation? THanks for your waiting.

It's not a bug; it's a feature request.

When I click a certain control, I want to set focus on another control.

Here is an example workaround I am using:

If GuiMsg(0) = $myButton Then
   ControlFocus($windowTitle,"", "Edit1")
EndIf

But I do not like mixing Control-Commands with Gui-Commands....

I want something like this:

If GuiMsg(0) = $myButton Then
   GuiSetFocus($editRef)
EndIf

I see I have a look why GuiSetControlEx($ref,$GUI_FOCUS) will not work.

I have a lot of trouble to keep insync the focus specially with button.

I hope i will be more easy that I think.

stay tune

I think I have a solution in the next 102.23 of GUI
