We have an MDI application that is not setting always setting focus to
the newly corrected MDI. It is creating the form and it is the topmost
but it does not have focus.
The code we are using to activate the MDI is something like the
following:
frmTest frm = new frmTest();
frm.MdiParent = this;
frm.Show();
I have tried calling frm.Activate() and Focus() but to no avail.
Creating a non-MDI works OK.
We are launching the MDI by double clicking on a DeveloperExpres s
grid. However, if we use a context menu on the grid and go through
exactly the same handler code to open the form, then this works fine.
Therefore, I am not sure if it is a .NET problem, a DeveloperExpres s
problem or what? I notice that in the newsgroup some other people were
having similar problems with focus on MDI child forms. 2 7401
Hi,
Seems like a DevExp problem because this does work fine in a normal
MDIParent-Child scenario.
However, make sure you are calling the Focus method of the Child Form after
its Show() method.
Another thing you may want to try is to set Focus to a control in the child
form. Suppose, the child form contains a textbox named TextBox1, then set
the following line after the call to the Show() method.
f.TextBox1.Focu s();
Let me know if this was helpful.

Thanks Prattek.
I have already done as you suggested but to no avail.

Folks,
I'm working on a contact name/address database whereby a slimed down list is
shown in the main window. When a record is selected, the complete record is
displayed in a new window via a call to window.open
As opposed to closing and re-opening new windows, I would prefer that when
the user is finished reading the complete record, they can click a link
whereby the main window is sent in to focus.

During testing <div style="overflow:auto;"> in CSS I noticed the
mousewheel would work in Mozilla only after I made a <a href="#">some
text</a> link and clicked on that, within the div.
It appears as if Mozilla needs to have the focus set on that div in
order for the mousewheel to work. That's all that link does. The
mousewheel works perfectly in IE without the link. It scrolls the div
even if there is a scrollbar on the page.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
