Thread: Can't set focus on invisible window

Can't set focus on invisible window Your last visit to this thread was on 1/1/1970 12:00:00 AM

I have a simple case statement that sets a few items depending on the case and then also sets the focus to specific fields. It works fine the first time but when opening the form again an error states that SalesLogix cannot set the focus on a disabled or invisible window.

Here is an example of code:
Sub pklAssetStatusChange(Sender)

Select Case pklAssetStatus.Text

case "Active"
dateStart.Focused = True
case "Inactive"
dateInactive.Focused = True
case "Terminated"
dateEnd.Focused = true
End Select

End Sub

My guess is that the form opening triggers a "Change" so the case statement goes to work but the form hasn't yet been drawn.

So how would one correct this?

If you want to do this when the form "opens".. use AXFormChange ... NOT AXFormOpen.

Open fires on form open but the bound data is NOT there yet.
Change fires AFTER ALL Bound controls have their data.

IF you need this to fire on a control change as well.. keep it and put a "call" to it in AXFormOpen.
