In C++Builder, the "Cannot focus disabled or invisible window" message is displayed when trying to post the editing formula with invalid parameters

created 12 years ago

I have a problem with errors in formula.

When there is an error, spreasheet ends with Cannot focus disabled or invisible windows. This do not occur when recompiling appliaction directly with devexpress sources, but occur when compiling using prebuilt dcus in library path.

To reproduce:

Run FreaturesDemo and enter in any cell =SUM(xxxxxxxx)

These messageboxes are shown:

Unknown string expression - xxxxxxxx
Error syntax in string expresion
2x hidden Error syntax in string expresion
Cannot focus a disabled or invisible window

    Use F2 or directly write in cell, (not using TEdit above)

      I'm afraid I still was not able to reproduce this problem. I've attached a video where the F2 key is used to edit the SpreadSheet cell and the executed file from the FreaturesDemo project.
      Would you please provide us with a video where this problem is reproducible?

        I have tested on Delphi 7 and it works but not in XE2 32 bit. Your exe is ok also.
        If I built from source the demo work also. If I built from DXVLC\library, the problem occurs.
        Attached is demo builded on xe2 32bit with last 12.1.6 installed.
