hi,
do you like Mouse Option "snap-to-button"
it does move Cursor to Yes / No Button when appear
this Function do move Cursor and Focus to your Control
have fun
! Note : it does NOT move to "highlight" Option. it does move to "center" of Control

I did the same in a different way

:
Code: Select all
PROCEDURE SnapToCtrl ( cForm, cControl )
Local hWnd, nRowCtrl, nColCtrl, nHeightCtrl, nWidthCtrl, nColPointer, nRowPointer
IF !(IsWindowActive ( &cForm )) .OR. !(IsControlDefined ( &cControl , &cForm ))
RETURN
ENDIF
hWnd := GetProperty ( cForm, 'Handle' )
nRowCtrl := GetProperty ( cForm , cControl, 'Row' )
nColCtrl := GetProperty ( cForm , cControl, 'Col' )
nHeightCtrl := GetProperty ( cForm , cControl, 'Height' )
nWidthCtrl := GetProperty ( cForm , cControl, 'Width' )
//Center of control
nRowPointer := nRowCtrl + ( nHeightCtrl / 2)
nColPointer := nColCtrl + ( nWidthCtrl / 2)
HMG_SetCursorPos ( hWnd, nRowPointer, nColPointer )
DoMethod( cForm, cControl, "Setfocus" )
RETURN
It seems to me that your solution does not work properly in all cases. Try to change the size of the form (height) with the mouse, then call from menu "Test" item "Snap 2 Button" and you will see that the mouse pointer does not always move to the right position:

i did not know HMG_SetCursorPos()
I did not know that function either (and many others)
Is there any updated documentation that includes the new functions?
I use the one in the IDE help but it is incomplete as of today.
Thanks in advance.

This function is documented in the HMG references available in the IDE.
