I have a control that has a default provided by a custom routine.

When using the tab key or mouse to move to the control, the default is calculated and provided. However, when setting the FOCUS property of the window to that control, the default is not calculated. How come? what must I do to make the default calculate?

TIA

Try setting SYSTEM focus instead - SYSTEM focus generates a gotfocus but the focus property of the Window does not. I think it's in the gotfocus event that the default gets processed.

Thanks, perhaps I should read the help more closely….

Setting focus doesn't trigger the GOTFOCUS event. You must send the event programatically. Eg.

SET_PROPERTY(CTRLENTID,'FOCUS',1)

SEND_EVENT(CTRLENTID,'GOTFOCUS')

Jim,

Thanks for that. But you do not have to use the send_event if focus is given by this statement:

SET_PROPERTY('SYSTEM','FOCUS',CtrlEntId)

So now I have two ways of doing what I need!
