control tab clicks within form when on standardmdi display.

Bharath,

Sorry I'm not quite sure I follow you. Maybe you could make a simple project that shows this and email it over.

Do you mean that if you have focus in a standard MDI document, and you click on a tool window tab elsewhere, you want focus to remain in the document and not focus the tool window?

It sounds like you might be able to achieve the desired effect by intercepting and cancelling a DockSite::WindowActivating event, if such an event existed. Perhaps such an event would be a worthwhile addition to the API.

Hello All,

I am not talking about clicking on the tool window. what i meant is ,

for example:- i have three doc windows opened in the standard mdi mode.
now i am clicking on tab button the focus has to remain in the document window which has the focus.
In the present scenario what happening is it is taking the focus out of the doc window.


I hope i have made you understand the exact scenario.

Thanks in advance
Bharath

Bharath,

Sorry I'm still not sure what you mean by a tab button. Maybe you could email over a screenshot showing your UI and put a circle around the button to which you are referring. That would help. Thanks!

Hello,

I am referring to the button above the caps lock button in the Keyboard.

Bharath.

Aha, sorry! I thought you were originally talking about a "tab control" like some sort of tabstrip. :)

Ok I see what you mean and have it fixed for the next maintenance release.

Can I infer that this means you have changed the TabNavigation mode on your MDI windows?

Yes that's all it was. You could probably do it in a Style yourself in the meantime.

Out of curiosity, what is your new default? Cycle or Contained?

I believe we have it set to Cycle.

Perfect, thanks!

Any idea when the next maintenance release will be available?

Probably in the next week or two. We have a pretty decent number of updates ready.

Waiting for the next maintainence release .


Thanks
Bharath
