When the web / pdf is displayed in the WebBrowser control, focus is on the
control and actually your other two commands have already executed, this is
why the focus is on the WebBrowser.
I have it working properly on my machine, but you need to put your two
property commands in the onNavigationComplete EEP, this way the page will be
loaded and then the focus will be directed back to your other control.
Incidently, I could not get a PDF to display in the WebBrowser without
putting "ProcessMessage" after the GOURL property command. This lets the
WebBrowser do its thing while the subsequent commands, if any are executed.
This is what I have in my button EEP that executes the GOURL:
SET VAR vdisplayname TEXT = ((CVAL('CurrDir')) + '\GooglePage.pdf')
PROPERTY wbone gourl .vdisplayname
PROCESSMESSAGE
RETURN
This is what I have in my onNavigationComplete EEP:
SET VAR vdisplayname TEXT = ((CVAL('CurrDir')) + '\GooglePage.pdf')
RECALC VARIABLES
PAUSE 2 USING .vdisplayname
PROPERTY id_vfolder set_focus 'TRUE'
PROPERTY id_vfolder lastchar 'true'
RETURN
A footnote: I was losing the value of the variable vDisplayName between the
button push and the onNavigationComplete EEP and I didn't take time to
figure that out.

Alastair,
I did try that. I put this...
PROPERTY id_vfolder SET_FOCUS 'TRUE'
PROPERTY id_vfolder LASTCHAR 'TRUE'
At the very top of the eep
and this...PROPERTY id_bigpdf GOURL .vdisplayname
at the bottom.
Same issue. The SET_FOCUS works, but the GOURL steals the focus and won't
give it back to the SET_FOCUS when it's done displaying the file. The PAUSE
FOR n some how is able to retrieve the focus and then hand it off to the
SET_FOCUS command.
I don't know if the Web Control would benefit from an enhancement request
regarding it's effect on FOCUS. I may just not be understanding how the
GOURL command is supposed to affect the focus. I can't think of any good
reason why the GOURL should want to affect the FOCUS when my goal is to
display a file. The only property that the Web Control has that I can
control is "Tab Stop". Unchecking Tab Stop did not seem to affect the FOCUS.

Have you tried changing the sequence of the property commands?

Hi Jan,
It works perfectly when I trace it, so I thought it would be a timing issue.
Pause for 5 did not work, but ...
Pause for 1 USING 'Bam!'
does seem to make it work better. Seems like I need to have the focus
shifted away from the Web Control after the GOURL command to get the
following commands to work. The only issue with my work around seems to be
the highlighting of the characters based on checking AUTOSELECT...the
characters are no longer highlighted, but that is not a big deal.
Mike

Mike,
Does your field get the focus if you TRACE the command?
Possibly a timing issue.
Maybe try a PAUSE FOR 2 after the
PROPERTY id_bigpdf GOURL .vdisplayname
to give it time to process.
Does your field get the focus if you TRACE the command?
Jan
