1. child windows not receiving focus events?

I'm writing an app that needs a child window to receive GotFocus/LostFocus
events. The problem is, the child window only receives an initial LostFocus
event. I'm using Win32Lib 0.60 and Windows XP Pro. I've attached a small
example. As you can see when running it, clicking or whatever does not
trigger a GotFocus on the child window, but clicking the EditText controls
does trigger the events. I know there's got to be a WS_ or WS_EX_ flag that
triggers this or something.

I'm using Windows Caret routines and I need to create the Caret when I have
focus, and destroy the Caret when I lose focus. If I use a child window to
hold the Caret, then that window needs to receive GotFocus/LostFocus events.
I don't see why an EditText control can trigger these events, but a Window
can't. Aren't all other controls based off a basic child window?

Well that was supposed to be an attachment, but Outlook Express has been
acting really flakey lately. I think I'm going to start using Mozilla for my
web stuff.

Nope, that didn't work. But I can't believe the solution didn't reach out of
the monitor and slap me in the face! All I did was test for any mouse event
except MouseMove and call setFocus() for the right window. I'm sure I could
test for some type of keyboard input, too.

procedure SetFocusHandler( integer pSelf, integer pEvent, sequence pParams )

    if pParams[1] != MouseMove then
        setFocus( pSelf )
    end if

end procedure
setHandler( MyWin, w32HMouse, routine_id("SetFocusHandler") )
