focus across windows!! - Cool_bombom - 2012-05-27
Hi
is there any way to check focus across windows. i wan't to check if a grouplist has focus in the home windows from the videooverlay, and then make the videoocerlay slide to the side. is this possible and how
i have already tried:
Window(0).ControlGroup(3551).HasFocus()
Window(Home).ControlGroup(3551).HasFocus()
ControlGroup(3551).HasFocus()
ControlGroup(3551).HasFocus
with no luck!!
cheers

Is it definitely a grouplist you're trying to check has focus?
Pasting the whole home.xml to pastebin might help us.

just so we understand each other :-)
it is not in home.xml i have the problem, it is in videooverlay.xml i have the problem!! so i'm trying to read a focus state in home.xml (window 0) from videooverlay.xml (window 2904)!!
hope it makes sence??
cheers

You can't check focus across windows, only in the current window. It may work with a script but I'm not sure.
Edit: You should be able to do it with a script... you have to grab the home window (10000), then you can get the focus id (getFocusId()), compare it to the id of your grouplist and set a property if it's focused. Then you can slide the overlay with a conditional animation.
