Question

Forcing focus back on a TEB when the user clicks away

Hi, I can't find the answer anywhere.

I want to set up a text entry box so that if the focus is lost, the teb gets reactivated. The reason for this is that we ask the user to press tab or enter when they have typed something (no submit button) and this doesn't work if they have clicked out of the TEB.

I tried....ON FOCUS LOST  --> Enable --> Text_Entry_Box1..... but it was unsuccessful.

Anyone got any ideas?

Hi there

I'm not sure if it would work, but what about an Advanced Action? One that basically performs a "Jump to slide" and jumping to the slide you are on?

My thought is that perhaps it would simply cause the slide to reload. (assuming, of course, that upon initial loading the TEB has focus)

Cheers... Rick

Hi, you can't jump to the same slide unfortunately.

But I did try the following.... ON FOCUS LOST execute advanced action:

expression cpCmndGotoFrame = cpInfoCurrentFrame -1

This appears to be working but only once as on focus lost is a single check.

Cheers.
