MP3Car.com - View Single Post - Focus lost when switching to GPS

Toaster: I'm using iG 2.1.3. I do have ignative=false, and it embeds just as well as with ignative=true (no title/menu/tool/status bars). However, the issue is not that iG isn't redrawing - it shows up fine, and works just fine for display. The issue is that nothing is responding to keystrokes.

Here's the primary example: In iG, the UP and DOWN arrow keys zoom in and out. I have a set of push buttons on my dash that interface with Diba's Winamp COM-port control. Using this plugin, I have control over winamp, and a pair of buttons mapped to UP and DOWN keys. So when iG has focus, the buttons on my dash will zoom in and out.

I got tired of having to click into iG, so I used the keytbl.ini to map my up and down arrow keys to the standard iGuidance_ZoomIn and _ZoomOut functions, which in turn use the SENDKEY function to send the UP and DOWN keys. These also work fine when RR has focus. I click on RR, hit one of my buttons, iG zooms in or out. Great.

The problem is, that when I FIRST open the GPS window, neither iG NOR RR has focus. I have to click somewhere (anywhere) first, then can start using my keyboard shortcuts (the issue even persists if I use my keyboard's arrow keys instead of my buttons).

Hope that made sense. Thanks for the input.
