Hi
I have an application that uses .NET, but allows it to pass in a window handle, a window title, else it uses the active window as the parent window. The code works, apart from the fact that using the TAB key tabs through the controls in reverse, and, if I then use Shift+TAB, they go in the opposite order (so they're swapped!
I have the tab order set correctly, and swapping the tab order around makes no difference it seems
I'd like the dialog window to act as any other window, and be able to react to TAB. Also, the Default button does not work at all. Pressing ENTER does nothing although the accept button for the dialog form is set
Any ideas would be highly appreciated, and code to go with it would be appreciated even more
Here is the code to show the window
public void DoModalWindow(IntPtr hParent, Form formToShow
IntPtr hWnd = formToShow.Handle
bool isClosing = false
IntPtr parenthandle = IntPtr.Zero
formToShow.Show()
// Set parent of window..
if (hParent != IntPtr.Zero
parenthandle = SetWindowLong(hWnd, GWW_HWNDPARENT, hParent)
EnableWindow(hParent, false)
MSG msg = new MSG(IntPtr.Zero, 0, 0, 0, 0, new POINT(0,0))
// These are more in the way of a test, I thought maybe adding accelerator keys might make
// SHIFT, TAB, ENTER work, but it didn't seem to help. Having said that, I might be calling i
// all incorrectly
ACCEL[] accel = new ACCEL[2]
accel[0] = new ACCEL(0,(char)0,(char)0)
accel[1] = new ACCEL(VF_SHIFT, (char)16, (char)0)
while (formToShow != null
if (PeekMessage(ref msg,IntPtr.Zero,0,0,PM_REMOVE)
if (TranslateAccelerator(formToShow.Handle, ref accel, ref msg) != 0
continue
else if (IsDialogMessage(formToShow.Handle, ref msg)
continue
els
TranslateMessage(ref msg)
DispatchMessage(ref msg)
if ((formToShow != null) && (formToShow.DialogResult != DialogResult.None) && (!isClosing)
{
// Get whether we authenticated of not, then kill off the window..
this.authenticated = (formToShow.DialogResult == DialogResult.OK);
formToShow.Close()
formToShow = null
GC.Collect()
isClosing = true
if (hParent != IntPtr.Zero
EnableWindow(hParent, true)
// Set parent of window back to original value..
SetWindowLong(parenthandle, GWW_HWNDPARENT, hParent)
ShowWindow(hParent, SW_SHOW)
Thanks for your help in advance
