FACT(s) (Environment):
Progress 9.x
OpenEdge 10.x
Windows
SYMPTOM(s):
Focus does not appear on widget when the application is run.
Focus option is applied to the main code block.
Focus appears when running the application by pressing F2 key.
Focus does not appear when running the application by clicking the "Run" button in AppBuilder.
Focus does not appear when running the application by clicking Compile > Run menu option in Procedure Editor.
CAUSE:
By default, Windows does not display focus rectangles or mnemonic underlines on windows or dialog boxes if navigation is done only via a mouse. The reasoning is that if only a mouse is used for navigation, the position of the focus is unnecessary.
FIX:
Follow these steps to set the focus rectangle to appear:
1) Open the Display Properties control panel.
2) Click on the Appearance tab.
3) Click on the Effects button on the Appearance tab.
4) Uncheck the "Hide underlined letters for keyboard navigation until I press the Alt key" checkbox and click "OK".
5) Click "Apply" on the Display Properties control panel.
