xPost

Ranorex 1.2
.Net 2.0

I've just upgraded to Ranorex 1.2
When I go to recompile I get an error for every instance of
"Control <control> = <Form>.GetFocus()"

Investigation shows that this method is missing from the latest release.
Crying or Very sad

Cheers

I tried the following code with the VS2005Application.exe and it worked for me:

Code: click into code to enlarge
for (int i = 0; i < 60; i++)
{
    Control control = Form.GetFocus();
    Console.WriteLine("Control = {0}", control.GetType());
    Application.Sleep(1000);
}


GetFocus is a static method, please use Form.GetFocus() and not an instance object.

OK.
The method is not missing, it's changed to a static method.
--Intellisense couldn't/can't find it.

but this is still a change from previous versions where GetFocus() was a valid method for any Form object.

This now means that my code needs to bring the appropriate FORM into focus, before checking which CONTROL is in focus. (I'm assuming the static method is using the focused FORM)

-- off to branch my code stream --
(old code needs to compile against earlier Ranorex versions.)

A simple upgrade got awfully messy...

GetFocus attaches to the currently activ form and returns the control that has the keyboard focus.
I checked the version history in Subversion. The function seems to be the same except that the function is static.

Sorry for the inconvenience.
