The focus does not automatically default to a form or panel within a Web browser control

My current challenge involves using the defaultfocus property to establish default focus within a form or panel. This works seamlessly when setting default focus for a textbox in a browser.

However, I have encountered an issue when loading the same page using the web-browser control in VB6. In this scenario, the default focus is not being set properly (using VB6 Microsoft Internet Controls). Even simple forms are affected by this problem. Attempting to use .focus in the page load has also proven ineffective within the web-browser control.

To address the issue, I have attempted to refresh the page with the following code:

WebBrowser1.Navigate "url here"
WebBrowser1.Refresh

While using the refresh method successfully sets the focus as intended, it does result in reloading the entire page (including the ASPX form). Is there a more efficient solution that can be implemented within my ASP website to achieve the desired outcome?

Answer №1

After trying multiple approaches within the WinForm code, I found them to be rather ineffective. For a more successful method of setting focus on a textbox, using JavaScript might yield better results.

If the textbox happens to be an ASP.net server control, you can implement the following:

<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>

<form runat="server">


    <asp:TextBox id="FirstBox" runat="server" /><br>
    <asp:TextBox id="SecondBox" runat="server" />

    <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
        var field = '<%= SecondBox.ClientID%>';
        document.getElementById(field).value = field;
        document.getElementById(field).focus();
        document.getElementById(field).select();
    </script>
</form>

</body>
</html>

Answer №2

This is just a temporary message. 

    '--- resolving WebControl compatibility issue
    lIEMajor = C_Lng(At(Split(pvGetFileVersion(CreateInstance(PROGID_FSO), GetSpecialFolder(ucsOdtSystem) & "\ieframe.dll"), "."), 0))
    If lIEMajor > 7 Then
        With InitRegistryAccess(ucsRegNone, "Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_BROWSER_EMULATION")
            If .ReadProperty(GetErrorProcessName(), 0, ucsRvtDword) < lIEMajor * 1000 Then
                .WriteProperty GetErrorProcessName(), lIEMajor * 1000, 0, ucsRvtDword
            End If
        End With
    End If

The code snippet above contains various utility functions and classes, but its main purpose is clear - determine the major version of Internet Explorer, multiply it by 1000 if it's IE7 or higher, and update the relevant registry key under HKCY_CURRENT_USER if necessary.

I will add the API declarations in an upcoming revision.
