Well Chip, I will only tell you what GW Micro staff had said (including Doug, Aaron, Ron and others). They would rather have a three line script then a 300 line script to have to debug. Is this something you are willing to do or do I need to dive into Jamal's code and try to provide this to the GW Micro staff? Is it happening on multiple operating systems?

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.

Chip. It would be better to create a smaller script to replicate the issue.
Debugging that one may take longer.  Remember keep it simple.

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.

Chip,

Can you provide some example code that demonstrates the problem you're
having?

I think I'm going to put that in my signature. <grin>

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
