All program is SDI. I leave the main form visible all the time, and make other form SHOW over the top.
(keypreview= false).
The problem occurs when I HIDE the 2nd form.
I have tried various things such as:
UNLOAD 2nd form
Enable main form, Hide 2nd form
SHOW main form, then HIDE 2nd form
etc, but my fix as above seems to be the only thing which works.
(Breaking the program when faulty, immediate mode show that main form is enabled =true so that is not the problem).
My thoughts are Maybe you have to force the focus to a control, somehow the main form 'forgets' where focus should be.
Is there any way to follow keybrd or mouse click messages to se why the form is ignoring them.?
