I don't know why I'm needing two clicks to dismiss an Exclamation popup box in this code.

I'm using lastFocus to store the focus of the last control and validate (in this case edtNSerie):

	if (lastFocus == &edtNSerie)
		{
			Sql sql(PSQL_SESSION);
			
			// observar si hay un caso abierto para el equipo
			sql.Execute(Format("SELECT numcaso FROM caso WHERE nserie='%s' AND estado!='CERRADO'",
			            ::ToUpper(TRIM((String)~edtNSerie))));     
			            
			sql.Fetch();
			
			if (sql.GetRowsProcessed())
			{
				Exclamation(Format("Este equipo ya tiene un caso abierto, numerado [* \%d].&"
				"Debe cerrar este caso para poder continuar.", sql[0] ));
				edtNSerie<<= "";
				lastFocus=NULL;
			}
...



That Exclamation call needs two clicks to return to the main dialog.

Why this behaviour?

Thank you, keep up the good work!

Hard to say. My guess is that you might be calling Exclamation twice Wink

Another possibility is some sort of "modal loop crossing". Sometimes it can happen that you start another modal loop over the Examlamation's one accidentally. Exclamation can get closed only if its modal loop is exited.

Hi Mirek, my MainWindow it's opening modal windows with:

// suppose the window class to be opened is Dialog1

Dialog1 * dlg = new Dialog1();
dlg->Execute();
delete dlg;


May be this is the cause of the "two-click" problem?

Hard to say.

Anyway, the code you posted is really "anti-U++". Why not

Dialog1 dlg;
dlg.Execute();

?

P.S.: If you can pack the app so that I can reproduce the problem, I can look into it...

Hehe, I don't remember why I arrived at using dynamic allocation. I tried using the form above and it works.

I'm packing up an example for my problem...

Look, Mirek, I've packed a very small example. Try pressing TAB to exit the first edit control, the exclamation box appears and I need to do two-clicks to close.

Check if you're getting the same behaviour.

I'm using 2008.1 beta.

Thank you very much.

Hi!

Yes, your problem is easily reproducible. I don't know exactly why this is happening, but it is probably due to the popup window, which triggers another loose focus event because the focused window of the application has changed, and basically your running the code twice.

I attached a simple fix of the top of my hat for this kind of behavior. I'm sure there is a better way though.

One of them would be to use the Min and Max properties of edit1. You can do this in the designer. And also changing the type of EditTwo to EditStringNotNull.

Exactly.

The problem is that you will get ChildLostFocus for the editfield being left. Then prompt popups and you are getting another one (for the new editfield), BUT at that moment, you do not have your "lastFocus" changed yet (because you have not given it a chance to happen).

Actually, the real moral of the story is "do not change the focus in the process of changing the focus" Smile

I understand Mirek. Since U++ does not provide a "WhenLostFocus" style callback, what do you think it's the best approach to validate a field when the user leaves it (I need this).

Thank you very much for your help, both cbpporter and mirek.
