FormAPI disabling VisualFormat textarea

fiquebem

Hi there,

We're using TS 6.5 SP2 on Solaris 8.

I'm using FormAPI to make a system call when an option is selected. If, before the call is completed, I click in a VisualFormat Editor textarea, the VFE textarea becomes unusable -- I can't type in there anymore -- after the call is completed.

Looks like after the call is completed, the screen is refreshed, so the VFE field that had become active earlier becomes inactive. Then clicking in the textarea multiple times doesn't help.

At the end of the call, I tried adding IWDatacapture.gotoPage() to refresh the page and IWItem.setFocus() to set the focus to the VFE texarea, but neither helped.

To reiterate, there's no problem when I don't jump the gun by clicking in the VFE field too soon. But I can't expect my users to be that patient.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

S.
