IMO, automatic focus change by mouse creates more problems than it solved. Previous behaviour can never restored by user code. Because once focus is lost from a control and transfer to isigraph, although the focus can be switch back by setfocus, but the lostfocus/gotfocus event on the control can not be undone. Previously, I can use isigraph to simulate a focus-less panel, mouse click on different part of it for mouseclick event and trigger new action. This will not change focus of the orginal controls. On the other hand, pressing button will change focus to the button, this is what I like to avoid. When I mouse click on isigraph to get an event, inside the event I create and show another form. Previously the form will be in front of the isigraph. Now the gotfocus event put the isigraph in the front and hide the form. Will it be possible to roll back to previous behaviour that mouse click will not transfer focus? -- regards, bill ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
