Inactive xBrowse on Main Windows
Posted: Fri Jul 31, 2009 11:57 AM

Dear All,

I create Main Windows and xBrowse. The problem is xBrowse on Main Windows is not active. It cannot click, scroll and any action but refresh() is still working.

Why I put xBrowse to main windows, because it is interface program. It is waiting for the record and automatic action some routine by loop (timer()).

What do I make mistake?

Dutch

Main Windows and xBrowse

Do you mean XBrowse on MDI Main window ?
To my knowledge no controls work on MDI main window.
If there is a way I am also very much interested to know.

I agree with Rao,

it works only with a little help from a Dialog :

I wanted to calculate the Browse-Width and Hight with using
oDlg0:nHeight and oDlg0:nWidth,
but it didn't work and I had to find out the Bottom (-133) - and Right-Border (-12) for the Browser,
for Dialog-Adjustment. Maybe it is possible with a Calculation ?

Code (fw): Select all Collapse

DEFINE WINDOW  oWnd  TITLE "xBROWSE - Colorselection"  MDI   MENU TMenu():New() 

ACTIVATE WINDOW oWnd MAXIMIZED ;
ON INIT xBRW(oWnd) 

// ------------------------------

FUNCTION xBRW(oWnd)
LOCAL oDlg0, oBrw

nMainStyle = nOR( WS_OVERLAPPED | WS_VISIBLE )

DEFINE DIALOG oDlg0  FROM 50, 50 TO 280, 200 OF oWnd STYLE nMainStyle PIXEL 

oBrw  := TXBrowse():new( oDlg0 )

WITH OBJECT oBrw

      :nTop      := 0
      :nLeft     := 0
      :nBottom   := oDlg0:nHeight - 133
      :nRight    := oDlg0:nWidth - 12
      :SetArray( aBRCOLOR, .f. )

END

SetBrwStyle( oBrw )
oBrw:CreateFromCode()

ACTIVATE DIALOG oDlg0 NOWAIT ;
ON INIT oDlg0:Move( 50, 50, 280, 200, .f. )

RETURN NIL

Mr Uwe

Thanks for the lead.
But this solution has problem. Child windows get created behind the dialog.
We need the xbrowse on the frame like the background, but functional

>Child windows get created behind the dialog.

I believe this is a limitation of MDI. Personally, I do not like MDI.

Consider a SDI design with splitter on a main window and put the main browse on one side and the others on the other side. This way the user doesn't have to move windows around.

Try by creating the control over oWnd:oWndClient ( not over "oWnd").

Mr Mercado's suggestion works.
But even this has a few side effects in that the MDI childs do not get painted properly at times and when maximized we cant see the close, resize and minimize buttons, etc.
Basically we should keep in mind that we are trying to do something not intended.
