BUG: SetFocus Changes CommandButton Value to True

• Windows CE Toolkit for Visual Basic 5.0, version 1.0

SYMPTOMS

When the Value property of a CommandButton is set to False and the SetFocus method of the CommandButton is executed, the CommandButton Value property is set to True.

RESOLUTION

Set the Value property of the CommandButton to False after the SetFocus method is called, as follows:

   Private Sub Command2_Click()
      If Command1.Value = False Then
         Command1.SetFocus      ' Set focus to Command1.
         Command1.Value = False ' Set the Value property back to False.
         MsgBox "Command1.Value = " & Command1.Value
      Else
         Command1.SetFocus   'Set focus to Command1.
      End If
   End Sub

STATUS

             MsgBox "Command1.Value = " & Command1.Value
         End Sub
      
         Private Sub Command2_Click()
             Command1.SetFocus
             MsgBox "Command1.Value = " & Command1.Value
