Re: [DUG]: Cannot focus a disabled or invisible window

[Paul McKenzie]

This is a guess (I haven't time to test it out) - the button which is currently active (ie running the code) is attempting to focus itself following the code execution. Even though you have set focus elsewhere, the button is trying to set focus following the execution of the code...     Regards Paul McKenzie Analyst Programmer SMSS Ltd. ----- Original Message ----- From: Tracey Maule To: Multiple recipients of list delphi Sent: Tuesday, October 15, 2002 9:39 AM Subject: [DUG]: Cannot focus a disabled or invisible window Hi there...   I have a form with a DBGrid showing values from one table (tblCompany) I am currently trying to provide new record/edit functionality with code, rather than use one of those ugly DBNavigators.    My problem is with the edit.  I have an edit button displayed always, when the user selects edit, an invisible edit box is made visible, along with a "save changes" button. (someone told me once not to allow users to edit/add within a grid...) my problem is that when i click save changes i receive two error messages (the original focus message (subject line) plus a "dataset not in edit mode" one)   i suspect the focus problem is because i am making the edit box invisible while focus is still set to it, however i tried setting focus to another edit box and the error did not change.   heres the few lines of code i have     tblCompany.Edit;     tblCompany.FieldByName('name').Value := txtNewValue.Text;     tblCompany.Post;     txtNewValue.Text := '';     txtHoneyPot.SetFocus;     btnSaveEdit.Visible := false;     txtNewValue.Visible := false; please lend me the benifit of your decades of experience and knowledge here   Tracey Software Developer / Web Master Logis [EMAIL PROTECTED] (025) 213-1065
