Thanks, John, for your reply.
Yes, I have this line in frmOpenEvent
FrmSetFocus( frmP, FrmGetObjectIndex(frmP,DataInputNameField ));
I just added the following lines to the nilEvent case ( to see if nilEvent
is really fired ) :
static int count = 1;
char message[16];
StrPrintF( message, "%ld, %ld", count++, TimGetSeconds() - starttime );
SetFieldText( (FieldType*) FrmGetObjectPtr( FrmGetActiveForm(),
FrmGetObjectIndex( FrmGetActiveForm(),DataInputNameField)), message, true );
If I don't click to the field, then it displays nothing there. But if I
click, it displays {x,y} that I print for test.
I can not figure out what is the relationship between the focus and nilEvent
here.
