1. CWindow and Mouse Clicks on EditText : work-around

Hi,

>> My Old Query >>
The EditText controls do not get focus with mouse clicks when their parent is
ChildWindow (CWindow) control. One can neither click and place the cursor on
them, nor can select a part or full text present in it. Other controls like
PushButtons, Combo etc respond correctly to mouse click. Only the EditText
control seems to have this problem.

Doing further R&D on the issue, I got around the problem using following mods in
win32lib and my application:

win32lib: In function fDoMouse():
================================

lRC = {pReturn}
    if (and_bits(classAttr[ctrl_Type[id]], w32Clickable) != 0)
          or (ctrl_Family[id] = BUTTON)

	  -- 2007-07-22 Rad for receiving mouse click on EditText
	  or (ctrl_Family[id] = EDIT)
	  -- 2007-07-22 Rad for receiving mouse click on EditText

          or find(iMsg, {WM_RBUTTONDOWN, WM_MOUSEWHEEL})
          or (classType[ctrl_Type[id]] = STATIC and
and_bits(SS_NOTIFY, w32Func( xGetWindowLong, { ctrl_Handle[id],
               GWL_STYLE })) != 0)
          then
          doActions = w32True
    else
        doActions = w32False
    end if
    lParent = findParentWindow(id)

In my application's main window (MainMenu):
==========================================

procedure EditText_onClick(integer self, integer event, sequence params)
	setIndex(self, {1, 0})
	setFocus(self)
end procedure

procedure setEditClick(integer self)
sequence children, className
	className = getClassName(self)
	if equal(className, "Edit") then
		EditTextFlds = append(EditTextFlds, self)		
	end if
	children = findChildren(self)
	for i = 1 to length(children) do
		setEditClick(children[i][1])
	end for
end procedure

--#Set all EditText controls for receiving Mouse Click
EditTextFlds = {}
setEditClick(MainMenu)
setHandler(EditTextFlds, w32HClick, routine_id("EditText_onClick"))

With above mods, now I can click on EditText controls present in a Child Window
to access them.

Can this portion from my application be moved to win32lib in any way?
Looks like somehow default onClick setFocus event is not getting activated for
EditText controls.

Any suggestions?

Rad.

Yes, I can click on EditText in all Top/Parent/Child level windows to get
focus/access.

Actually, EditText focus was already working ok for Top level windows with
win32lib logic. Issue is only for child windows.
What I meant was is there any other way to set focus on EditText in child window
(like Top level), rather than collecting all the EditText's in application and
setting a handler for them?
