Re: [OT] Dead Video and no keyboard
Richmond, I had an similar effect (with a PC) some years ago. There was short circuit on the motherboard caused by a little screw I lost and then found it between the motherboard and the case. After removing the screw and restarting the PC all was ok.

To keep the selection of a textfield visible while the focus is on another control?
Hi all, I don't know how to manage this: On a card I have a field with text and a combo box. With the combobox the user can change the textsize of the selected text of the textfield. That works good when I set the traversalOn of the combobox to false. The User then can use the menu of the combobox while the selection in the textfield keeps visible. But when I set the traversalOn of the combobox to true, so that the user can manually enter a textsize in the field part of the combobox, the selection in the textfield disappears because the textfield lost its focus. One way I tested was to store the selectedChunk in a custom property on selectionchanged and when the user has entered the textsize in the combobox and presses return or enter the textsize and the selection for the selectedchunk (I stored in the custom property) of the field is set. But there is a period of time the user doesn't see his selection in the textfield. Is there a way to keep the selection of a textfield visible while the focus is on another control? I hope you understand my request despite my poor english. Thank you very much in advance.
