TwwwLayoutGrid Cell Focus

When tabbing between cells in a wwLayoutGrid, is there a way for a component, such as a TEdit, gain focus? Currently, if you tab to the next cell, you need to tab again for the first component in the cell to gain focus. This can make data entry somewhat awkward.

Thanks!

  I apologize. That one was not implemented correctly.  I have updated the build 12.0.5.7.1, so please redownload to correct this.

  Sorry there was a problem with our system so your message was not showing up.

  The layout grid should move to the first control with tabstop as true. Could it be moving to a new control that is a non-edit?

  Nope, just have a TEdit in the layout - need to double tab...it seems the cell gains focus and then the first tab-stop

  I can't seem to reproduce your issue. Can you provide a sample project and email it to us at support?

  You need to make sure you have at least 2 columns...try that before I send a program...

  What do you mean by columns. Is your layout grid horizontal or vertical?

  I tried our LayoutGridHorzDemo with 4 columns. I set the readonly to false so that I can edit. Then I ran the project and the tab key will move to the next control and I can see the focus change.

  I tried it both horizontal and vertical  - and it didn't go to the field...

  I dont see a LayoutGridHorzDemo - unless it is part of the MainDemo - and then there is no editing in the layoutgrid...

  It is part of the main demo. As mentioned I changed readonly to false which enables editing and then ran the project and do not see your problem.

  I will send a demo. it seems the issue is if there are multiple edits on a RecordPanel and some are invisible. It seems the invisible ones are gaining focus somehow. If i remove the tab stop from the invisible edits, it works. That being said, I think the bug is that invisible edits are gaining focus...

  Sorry for not being clear on the problem initially, I am reporting what is being reported to me.

   

  thanks

  Yes, it recognizes invisible objects on the form and looks at their tabtop property. Is there a reason you have invisible objects in your layout grid with tabletop = true. I think if you set their tabtop to false, it will also work.

  We have a drop down on the cell that changes the appropriate fields to be entered. Tabstop is always true - the code currently just changes the visibility. The assumption was that invisible objects wouldnt be stopped at. It wouldnt make sense to stop at objects that are invisible. I've already instructed to make tabstop false when invisible until this is fixed, or is this working as intended?

  The design did not envision that there would be invisible controls placed on the layout grid that would be used.  We can try to accommodate such a situation in the future, but for now the workaround of setting tabstop to false is the recommended approach.

  I see that in the latest release notes this issue is noted as fixed. Ive installed the latest version and it is still behaving the same as before (in other words it still doesnt work)....
