I have a set of buttons linked to some IE Rich Edit actions (bold, italics etc). These buttons are on a form that's floating above the main form (always-on-top), and the actions are linked to a IE Rich Edit also placed on the same floating form.
When the floating form has focus/is active, the relevant actions are enabled/disabled. When the main form has focus/is active, all the IE Rich Edit actions, and hence my buttons, are disabled.
Is there a way to prevent the IE Rich Edit actions to not be disabled when the floating form does not have focus? I thought setting the RequiresFocus property would do it, but it doesn't seem to be the right property.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Ray
You can link IERichEdit actions to a specific control by setting the RichEdit property.

Hi Nigel,
It's not that. It's when the IE Rich Edit control doesn't have focus, then the actions are disabled. Similar to when the IE Rich Edit Toolbar is used - the buttons are disabled when another control gets focus. I guess it's by design?

Hi Ray
OH, I see. Try setting: IERichEditAction1.RequiresFocus := False;

| Hi Nigel, I did set that. I took a look at the actions code, and it appears the HandleControl code for the IE Rich Edit functions disables the action when the AttachedRichEdit isn't the active control, or when the current control isn't a Rich Edit. I'll just let it work this way then, no big deal. Thanks |

Hi
Sorry, yes, that is true. In a recent version, we changed to modeling our handling code on the VCL actions.
