InplaceEditable text box does not get text cursor? (Read 2712 times)

	Very strange issue here - the same InplaceEditable methods work on two diagrams for the same node objects, and in main diagram the (double-click) opens an edit rect with text insert cursor in place, in auxilliary diagram this happens too, but no text cursor appears on its own.. so the user has to click once more into the box to get cursor placed. As the EditRect is not exposed (to mindfusion programmer), i cannot set the cursor per code explicitly...? Any tips? cheers

	The text insert cursor appears when a control has the keyboard focus. The diagram control calls Focus() on the edit field when you double click a node to edit its text. However the keyboard focus might not change if an event handler for events such as PreviewGotKeyboardFocus and PreviewLostKeyboardFocus sets e.Handled. So, check if some controls from the window that contains your auxiliary diagram don't handle these events. You could also try invoking e.TextBox.Focus() yourself from EnterInplaceEditMode event handler, but there's no reason your call to work better than ours I hope that helps, Stoyan

	haha thx stoyo actually now that you spoke of it i checked with snoop and the previewkey event was stolen by the scrollviewer around the auxilliary diagram. OFC, i can turn it off to focusable=false and then our node texts function well. OTOH, the scrollviewer is no more responding to direction arrows..

	I suppose you could toggle scroll viewer's focusable state in response to Enter/Exit InplaceEditMode events then, if you also need keyboard scrolling. I hope that helps, Stoyan
