Hi

I have toolbar which uses a winform which gets opend up from toolbar button click.

This win form has a webbrowser control and this web browser control invokes a login page from server.

The page works properly if opened in main browser and i can copy paste values in text boxes and navigate between them using tab but in this winform none of them works.

if i move this win form to a normal winform application things starts working but when it is opened from Toolbar keyboard shortcuts and tab key is not working.

Please help.

Thanks and best regards

Hi Amitkumar.

Who is the parent of the winform in your project?

Hi

The parent is a IE toolbar created using add in express component. The form is part of a toolbar project.

Thanks and regards

Amitkumar, I meant what do you pass in the owner parameter of the Form.ShowDialog method.

Hi,

I have this form opened up with Show() method and not with ShowDialog() method due to some other issues with vista + IE where if i open my login window before the browser home page is loaded (when the browser shows connecting... message) my home page was never getting loaded.

I confirm if i switch to ShowDialog i can use keyboard shortcut but that will break the main IE browser in Vista.

please help me.

Hi

Finally i got it working. Thanks for pointing out to the owner parameter overload in showdialog method.

Using this.NativeWindowHandle to build a IWin32Window object and passing it to showdialog resolved my browser locking problem and thus it allowed me to use showDialog instead of show() which has resolved the keyboard shortcut issue also.

Thanks for your hint.

Thanks and regards
