I was pointing out it's not just my script, it's someone else's script as well. that makes it no longer an issue which may be a coding mistake; and frankly, it's a lot easier to tell him how to use this very simple script, than to try and write one that's much simpler.

It would be better to create a smaller script to replicate the issue. Debugging that one may take longer. Remember keep it simple. -----Original Message----- From: Chip Orange <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, June 29, 2009 6:13 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: problem with setting focus in 7.1 actually, you only need to download the focusControl script from script central. in vista, open a windows explorer window, tab to something other than the listview of files, press the hotkey for focusControl (I think it's insert f9), and choose the listview and click ok. it should say "error!", and leave your focus where it is. Jamal actually tries to use both window.control.focus, and if that doesn't work, he then tries window.focus, and in this case neither changes the focus. thanks.

I think I'm going to put that in my signature. <grin> Aaron On 6/29/2009 4:46 PM, Allison and Chip Orange wrote: > Hi all, > > here's a problem I'm having, which I believe started with 7.1: > > I can no longer cause a control window in a windows explorer window, > under vista anyway, to have the focus. > > at first I thought it was my script, but I'm also having the same > results using Jamal's focusControl script (which speaks the message "error!"). > > > No error actually happens in the script, it's just that the focus does > not change to the control, regardless of the type. > > This script used to work for me!!! :( but aside from whether it > worked, shouldn't I be able to cause a windows explorer window control > to have the focus? > > anyone else see this? > > thanks. > > Chip > -- To insure that you receive proper support, please include all past correspondence (where applicable), and any relevant information pertinent to your situation when submitting a problem report to the GW Micro Technical Support Team.
