Problem


When I have a modeless MDIDialog window, bring up a modal non-mdi dialog and close the modal dialog, the modeless mdi-dialog no longer gets the tab key.


Cause


The MDI Dialog is not getting focus when a modal non-MDI dialog is closed.


Action


This is a workaround for the problem.

In mdi2.cpp, in the MDIdialogProc, add this code to the WM_SETFOCUS:

case WM_SETFOCUS:
if( zAppGetAppVar(activeDialog)
!= hWnd )
                
zAppGetAppVar(activeDialog)=hWnd;
case WM_KILLFOCUS:
 .
 .
 .
