Search by title text box
Posted: Mon Mar 06, 2006 11:58 amThe behaviour of the focus in this box is confusing. In a standard Windows application, a box that has text in that gains focus (by clicking in it with the mouse) does not then select all the text as well.
In Zionworx it does. This means that if I enter some text to select one song (for example "SOF 123" and then want to add another song, I have to retype "SOF " as well as the new song number. I should though be able to click the mouse in the box, press backspace three times and enter the song number (for example "321") and the end result is that the field says "SOF 321". But because as soon as I click in the field the entire text is selected it does not behave as a standard windows control. This means that it is difficult to use as it does not do the expected behaviour.
