Control focus (Calculator for Unit form)

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by bankk 6,603

Hello:

We've made a minor modification to the flow of the UnitOfMeasureCalculator form where based on item specifics the UOM fields are filled in automatically which then in turn enables the to and from value fields. The additional requirement is to put the focus on the from text field but there must be some additional code / configuration in place that forces the focus to the from UOM control. When the form runs I can see the focus set to the value field for a split second then jumps to the from UOM control. Does anyone know where the focus is set to the UOM control and how can it be overridden?

Thank you very much!

    Where are you making your changes?

    I assume they are in the UnitOfMeasureCalculator class? modifiedProductControl method?

    It seems to work just fine for me, if I make such changes there

    Hi Ivan,

    Yes, I begun there and called setFocus() there initially. It didn't work for me however. Later I realized it probably would make more sense to have the change in setValueControlsEnabled as the text controls are enabled there. Didn't work there either.

    Question for you. When you're running the form as it initially comes up, the text fields for to and from are greyed out, correct? It's only after you select the UOMs are the fields editable. Once they not greyed out then i'm able to call setFocus() with no issue. However, the code changes I made would automatically fill the UOMs after the item is selected. Problem is the focus jumps to the from UOM rather than the from text field.

    Thanks.

    Yes, they are greyed out by default.

    What I did for testing your scenario is modify the setValueControlsEnabled method, saying that both From and To value controls should be enabled if the product has been selected (I did not bother with getting some default UOMs assigned - I assume that's your case). After than I setFocus() on FromValueControl.

    Works just fine. give it a try - if that works - the problem is with your code that sets the From and To UOM

    Hi Ivan,

    May I ask one more question? When you select an item are you typing in the item Id or selecting from the drop down / lookup? I may have failed to mention it works fine if I use the drop down but if I type in the item Id the setFocus does not work. I would see a quick flash on the value field before it focus jumps to the UOM field.

    Thank you!
