1. EUGrid and trapping lostFocus event

Hi Phil or anyone who can help,
I know EUGrid traps most events its self but I do not see a lost focus 
event.
If I use win32lib's on lostFocus, it is triggered when the grid looses 
focus but, it is also triggered when I click on a different cell in the 
grid.
I need to run a procedure when a grid truely looses focus.

Hi Tony,

This is difficult to solve cleanly at the moment because EuGrid has a number of
internal windows which are not registered with win32lib.  I have come up with a
workaround which involves a) recording whenever the grid gets the focus
and b) checking if any other window subsequently gets the focus.

Here is an example:

include win32lib.ew
include	eugrid.ew

atom		void
integer		Grid, colEditable, colName, colDOB, colPhone
integer		grid_has_focus grid_has_focus=0

constant GridData =

	{ 0, "Nobby Wombat",	"23-04-66",	"01273 772244"		},

--*------------------------------------------------------*
-- Open main window

WinMain( MainWin, Normal  )

Hopefully this will help. The important bits are the two procedures and the
lines
marked with ***.

A caveat:  it's late here and I've just got back from the pub - treat with
caution!!

I will be away for the next week - let me know if you still have a problem
and I will have another look when I get back.

HTH,

Phil

Hi Tony,

Sorry for not replying sooner.  Been on holiday with no net access.

I think my suggestion should work either way.  If you have more than one grid
then you would need to test the window id rather than a global 'grid-has-focus'
flag, though.

>Traping the gotFocus of every item would be undesirable

I can understand that.  Unfortunately, as I said, this is not as easy to fix
as it might appear, and would require major surgery to the current internal
event handling.  I'll add it to my list...

Phil
