Hi,
Using 5.3.1, I have created a new application where I am programatically creating toolwindows and displaying in an inner-fill screen format. I am setting the content of each toolwindow to an interop/active X. What I am finding is that I am unable to trigger the "WindowActivatedEvent" event when I click on the actual toolwindow title. It is fine if I click into the content of the toolwindow, i.e. the activex component.
I have also tried triggering the 'OnPreviewGotKeyboardFocus' event and displaying the source of when I click a screen object. Again, clicking on the toolwindow title is ignored.
One thing I have done is to try the application on a reinstalled studio 5.2.2., and the selection/event triggering works OK.
I have looked in the forum, and have seen that users did have issues a year or so ago concerning use of interops and triggering of events.... wondered if this is something you may have a possible solution for concerning 5.3.1 or at least a direction I can be pointed in, before I send out an example & code. Don't know if I should be setting focusable on toolwindows when creating,for instance?
PS. I did have a similar type of issue which I reported (after upgrading from 5.2.2. to 5.2.3) a few months ago. with a different activex component causing an issue with not triggering the "WindowActivatedEvent" - which I needed to be triggered to set global variables - when I initially activated the toolwindow. I got around this by setting the content to nothing, then activating the toolwindow (therefore triggering the event OK), then setting the content to the activex component.
Thanks,
Bret
