Hello everyone,

I have a strange problem with go_item(some_text_item).

As this is a restricted procedure I have to call it via timer.

It works only one time, later the focus is lost. After mouse click on the item the situation repeats.

I turned off all other timers, but it did not help. Inserting this 'go_item' in any trigger which can call it also does not work.

What is funny: if I put any message box right after this 'go_item' - then cursor goes to the desired item.

I will appreciate any help.

You have explained what you have done so far.

Perhaps you might also want to tell what is the problem that you are trying to solve.

Cursor which should go to text item is lost. It seems like go_item does not work.

It sounds as though something else is happening in your form but just try placing a 'synchronize' after the 'go_item'.

Thank you for reply, but it does not work also.

I think that the problem is more complicated. What I have not written (I thought it was not important, however I feel I was wrong - sorry for that) is that the event is generated be tree ocx control.

When user clicks a treenode, then cursor should go to a specific record (depending on treenode, but this is not important here).

I have tried two ways:

(1) In event procedure I have created a timer in which there is "go_item".

(2) I dispatch event with RESTRICTED_ALLOWED option, and in event procedure I put "go_item" command directly. I have done it with every event in the package.

Both attempts failed, and focus is still set on the ocx control.

Hi,

what happens if you increase the delay of the timer (5 seconde for example )?

Is it possible to make the ocx control non-navigable ?

Nothing changes.

It seems that it is. However this has no effect too.

In what trigger are you placing this code? Have you reviewed the entries in this forum for 'hierarchy' and 'tree' because they seem to be able to make it work?

Post your code.

Hello,

my teammate managed to solve this problem.

What helped was "clicking" in the desired field by WinAPI procedure.
