ControlGetFocus stealing focus!

[MarcoM]

Hello, I'm new here.

I'd like to detect where is the focus in an other application.

But if I run the following code, I can't double-click anymore:

While 1

$CurrentWin = WinGetHandle("[Active]")

$CurrentControl = ControlGetFocus ($CurrentWin)

Sleep(50)

Wend

It seems that polling which control has the focus with ControlGetFocus()

resets somehow the click count... I can still double-click if I increase

the Sleep() duration, but that's not a good solution...

Any idea why this is happening ?

[Aceguy]

you can click anymore because your stuck in the loop.

try using do until...

do

whatever

until $win_handle_active=true and $win_has_focus=true

above is just an example

No, I don't think that this is the reason. If you replace ControlGetFocus()

by an other function (like ControlGetHandle()), it doesn't end up with the same problem.

The simple script above should not prevent one to execute a double click action

in windows. Is there any work around this ? (I mean checking regularly which

external control has the focus without killing the mouse double click ?)

(do until loop is not a solution. It's not fundamentally different from a while...wend)
