TdxBarControlContainerItem - Easy focusing

created 15 years ago

Hi,
I've been reading about TdxBarControlContainerItem and setting focus to it's control and this doesn't seem to be easy.
From what I read, the focus gets lots again because the control is placed on it's own internal TForm descendant.
I've been trying to get this done via Window messages, but no luck either. The only thing that -appears- to work is using a TTimer that sets the focus after a little while.
Now, this is somewhat "not so ideal", I think.
Wouldn't it be nice if the component would trigger an event -after placing- it on the TForm during run-time, so that you can use some code that would make it focussed, if required, by the application?

      Yes, I know of the workaround, it's a pain to implement (over and over again)… That's why I created this request ;)
