Problem 1:
How do I set focus to a particular graphic (TWPFGGraphicText, TWPFCUSTOMRichText) control for editing.
When I set fous to the form, a control is highlighted, but typing doesn't enter into that control until I physically click in the field. I tried a few things, but none seem to work.
Problem 2:
How do I control the form scrolling. Page-up and Page down either take one to the top of the next page or bottom of the previous page.
Any help would be appreciated.
Hi,
>>How do I set focus to a particular graphic (TWPFGGraphicText, TWPFCUSTOMRichText) control for editing. <<
Use the INPLACE Editor procedures which exist in all the TWPFGGraphic objects:
procedure IP_EditEvent(Enter: Boolean); virtual;
// Show inplace editor if visible AND editable AND formcompletion=TRUE
function IP_CheckEditor: Boolean; virtual; // TRUE if editable
// Always Shows Editor
function IP_ShowEditor: Boolean; virtual; // TRUE if editable
// Always Hides Editor
function IP_HideEditor: Boolean; virtual;
// Transfer properties in Editor
function IP_UpdateProperties: Boolean; virtual;
// Update Color and Font attributes
procedure IP_UpdateTextAttr; virtual;
// Updates the contents of the control from the editor
function IP_GetDataFromEditor: Boolean; virtual;
// Updates the Editor with the data from the control
function IP_GetDataFromControl: Boolean; virtual;
// Set Focus in editor
function IP_SetFocus: Boolean; virtual; // FALSE if not possible
// Kill Focus in editor
function IP_KillFocus: Boolean; virtual; // FALSE to abort
// This is the current editor control (if any) used for SetBounds only
function IP_CurrentEditor: TControl; virtual;
// -------------------------------------------------------------------------I suggest to use IP_ShowEditor

There is a problem with focus switching in Delphi (you see that in MDI apps, too). Normally it helps to do a programatic change of the focus to a different editor and the back into IP_CurrentEditor.

It is used to scroll through a dataset.
You can catch the VK_NEXT VK_PREV code in KeyUp event and scroll with your own code.
--> The FD.Editor is similar to a TScrollBox.
