Hi,

I would like to focus an input field in "overwrite mode". I am able to focus the input field using the RequestFocusManager after e.g. a hotkey event or a button click.

The problem is, that the content of the input field is sometimes selected (so pressing a button deletes/overwrites the current content - which is my desire behavior), and sometimes it is not (just the cursor standing in the input field - pressing a button adds the character without deleting the "old" content).

I already tried setting "selectallwhenfocussed" to true, but it did not show any effect so I guess that this is not the correct option.

Is there a way to do this?

Thanks,
Gernot

Hi,

the default is "true" for SELECTALLWHENFOCUSSED, so explicitly setting "true" does not bring any further effect.

We currently cannot reproduce. Is there something special that you are doing? - Even better: could you produce a client log (client parameters: loglevel=ALL clientlogfile=c:/temp/log.log) to help us with sorting out this problem?

THANKS...!

...we checked the focus management and found one (not severe) problem that was "added" in an update 2 weeks ago. Maybe this is the same problem causing the behaviour that you describe...

We are just about to find out...

Regards, Björn

...but would be great to send us the log anyway. If you have not recorded a client log so far + have questions on this: please directly contact us.

Thanks + regards!

Ok, I will try to get a log.

Hi,

I still don't have a log, but now I changed the sequence of the instructions and I was able to reproduce the problem.

I have an input field an a button with a hotkey (return) defined. If I press the button with the mouse, the request is processed and afterwards the focus is set correctly back to the input field (in overwrite mode).

But if I change the value in the input field and press "return", then the focus is set back to the input field, but not in overwrite mode.

Best regards,
Gernot
