MessageBox changes the focus from edit control to main window

[jj2007]

Just in case. If you make a real program with a real interface, you can find that GetFocus don't return the Edit handle 

Like in this little program (and is not so complex):

If you don't post code, I will consider you a troll, Hector.

Sorry, it's unplublished yet (and advance is very slow  ).

But the trick, apparently, is not a secret 

Set a GLOBAL variable.

The "trick" is an overkill. Besides, I am looking forward to see a working example. I invite you to modify the simple template at the beginning of this thread - plain Masm32. Btw I do use a global variable, see here.

It's more complicated than you think.

The problem is so easily solved.

Set a GLOBAL variable.
As each edit control gets the focus, set its handle to that GLOBAL.

Easy, peasy, sleazy, greasy !

That requires a handler - an overkill. My solution is short and foolproof.

I don't see the problem:

Yep, you don't see the problem

Code Select Expand

mov ebx, rv(GetFocus)
invoke MessageBox, 0, chr$("Focus will change"), chr$("Title"), MB_OK
push eax
invoke SetFocus, hEdit
pop eax
pop ebx

If you have more than one edit, you must use hEdit to store the active edit handle.

You are moving closer now
