Alerts; Main Log4OM window to keep keyboard/Mouse focus
Posted: 01 Jan 2015, 10:56
Hi,
HNY to one and all.
On Windows 7 (I can't comment on other Windows versions) each time a Log4OM alert triggers, the main logging window loses mouse and keyboard focus i.e. the mouse/keyboard focus in Windows shifts to the Alert window. This is maddingly annoying; the operator goes to type in some e.g. QSO information to find the keyboard and mouse focus aren't on the logging window anymore!
Could a change be made to automatically return the keyboard & mouse focus to the main Log4OM window following a Log4OM alert? I'm aware this could be tricky to implement as it's under WIndows OS control to a significant extent and the question arises to what textbox, checkbox etc. do you return focus to in the main Log4OM window? If it does prove infeasible, as a fallback could a convenient button be placed on the main window toolbar that would allow the operator to temporarily disable Log4OM Alerts (I know the Alerts can be disabled via the settings->Alerts menu option but a more convenient button on the main window would be good)?
