VS .NET Enterprise Architect 2002 or 2003 ?

J

John

Hi everyone,

Just a question about VS .NET Enterprise Architect 2002 vs. VS .NET
Enterprise Architect 2003.

We have an app built in VS .NET Enterprise Architect 2002 now.
We're trying to make a choice to upgrade or not. But besides the other
benefits 2003 brings, we want to make sure one particular problem with a
control is fixed in 2003.

We have a control that wraps around a standard combo box. But when placed
on a form and you try to backtab to the control, the backtab does not work.

Has anyone encountered this ? Does anyone have a different solution ?

Does anyone know if it's fixed in 2003 ?

I can provide app code examples if necessary.

Thanks,

John

There is a special ("cheap") upgrade offer available for $29 US. This offer
is open only until September 30, 2003. You will get more information about
this offer here:

Visual Studio .NET 2003 Upgrade Offer
http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/howtobuy/upgrade/vstudio03/

control, the backtab does not work.

I am not able to reproduce that with the standard combobox control on a
Windows XP Professional machine with VS.NET 2003 (.NET 1.0). What exactly
do you mean by "backtab"? Pressing Shift+Tab?

Hi John,
You may find more information on our Visual Studio Product site
http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/default.aspx
And If you can make an simple project to reproduce that bug, I'm glad
to make a test for you on VS.NET 2003, Thanks!

Thanks for the info on the offer.

Yes. A backtab is a shift+tab. We are using VS .NET 2002.

Thanks,

Does that even occur in a blank project with a combobox and some buttons?

I don't think so. I believe the person I'm working with on this has tried
that as a comparison already.

I know that from other windows apps I've built, that is normal, expected
behavior.

Thanks,

Hi Ying-Shen,

In an email directly to you a few days ago, I sent you 2 zip files that had
an example of the problem in them. Did you receive them and get a chance to
look at them ?

Hi John,

Thank you for your sample.

I have tested your code on my side (Window XP + Framework SDK 1.1 + VS .NET
2003). So far I can't reproduce the issue on my side.

Anyway, you can workaround the issue by overrideing the function
ProcessTabKey for the control as the following:

protected override bool ProcessTabKey(bool forward)
{
bool useActiveControl = false;

if (forward)
{
// Determine if we are the maximum tab index
foreach(Control control in this.Controls)
{
if (control.TabIndex > this.ActiveControl.TabIndex)
{
// There is a control within the user control with a
// larger tab index, so use the active control
useActiveControl = true;
break;
}
}
}
else
{
// Determine if we are the minimum tab index
foreach(Control control in this.Controls)
{
if (control.TabIndex < this.ActiveControl.TabIndex)
{
// There is a control within the user control with a
// smaller tab index, so use the active control
useActiveControl = true;
break;
}
}
}

Control controlContext = useActiveControl ? this : this.Parent;
Control currentControl = useActiveControl ? this.ActiveControl : this;
return controlContext.SelectNextControl(currentControl, forward, true,
true, false);
}
