Confusion inside a Page on a Form 1

[SitesMasstec]

Hello collegues!

I am trying for hours to get focus in an object, but I have failed:

When I RightClick on Page1 I want the object cboOndeRepetir (please see upper right of the form) to get focus

When running the form and I right click on Page1, the following error appears:

Thank you,

USe intelllisense, that guides you.

The parent of a page is not the form, it's the pageframe object, the root object that has all the sibling pages. So you need one more Parent. This.Parent.Parent.

If you write [tt]This.parent[/tt] and then a dot, you'll only get page objects listed by intellisense. If you write [tt]This.parent.parent[/tt] and then a dot, you'll also see the combobox listed.

So even if you don't how many parent levels you need to go up, intellisense always guides you.

Yes, Chris, I tried it also:

this.Parent.Parent.cboOndeRepetir.GotFocus

The first Parent is for Pageframe1 and the second Parent is for the main form, where the cboOndeRepetir resides.

In the case above, an error does NOT appear, but nothing happens (I mean, the cboOndeRepetir has not got focus)!

Thank you,

You have to call SetFocus, not GotFocus.

Well, I changed the Visible property of cboOndeRepetir to False and included the following code in the Page1, RightClick procedure:

this.Parent.Parent.CboOndeRepetir.Visible= .T.
this.Parent.Parent.CboOndeRepetir.GotFocus

And when I right click on Page1 the object cboOndeRepetir became visible! But does NOT got focus.

Oh, Chris, I am becoming old... SetFocus! Yes, GotFocus is when I click (or using Tab) on an object.
Now it works fine. Thanks.
