Radio button's , focus not visible

Post by Frank Demont »

Hello,

In a dialog , i have :

First object : Get
Second object : 4 RadioButtons
Third object : 2 RadioButtons

When the dialog receives focus , The first get is focused. Putting his value
, or pressing TAB , the cursor disappears (no expected rectangle) , noway
to now which control has focus. Pressing TAB again shows the third object
has focus , Shift TAB indicates correct the Second object has focus.

This kind off error's is VERY confusing and frustrating for the user and
make using radiobuttons so good as impossible.

I have this behaviour on mine desktop computer (XP) , but i have it also
seen at the client (WINDOWS 2000).

On 24/8/2004 i reported a similar problem with a checkbox.

Can this problem be resolved ? If not i suppose that i have to change the
radiobutton's in Comboboxes.

Frank,

Could you point to a FW samples directory sample that reproduces such behavior ? Or do you have a small and self contained sample to test here ? Thanks.

BTW, Frank, would you mind to register here so no one else can use your name ? thanks.
regards, saludos

Tomorrow , i will try , but i did some test's :

Unvisible focus from radiobuttons are frequent. In mine first thread , it was produced EVERY time the dialog was opened and the second object received focus , not when it received focus a second time

Now , i changed the second object in a drop down combo box , and the third object (radiobuttons) shows still focus as expected

In the passed i reported simular problem with checkbox (when it was the first from the dialog)

I hate it to give to mine users a declaration as : sorry , it isn't mine fault , but ..... (Microsoft , fivewin , .....)

Focus on checkbox

I can confirm this behaviour.
It occurs on XP pc's with and without themes.
The problem is that it does not occur allways; I have situations where (on the same object) sometimes the rectangle (visible focus) is present and sometimes not...

Best regards,
