Windows with the ToolBox Attribute the ENTRY Controls are Unavailable

Due to a number of problems in the mdi interface in runtime c11, we still have to use runtime c6 (with the c11 IDE).
For example, in windows with the float toolbox attribute, entry fields are unavailable and the frame twitches when clicking on the title of such a window. Perhaps someone knows a workaround for this problem?

I don’t think there will be a ‘fix’. According to the Help:
“Neither the WINDOW nor its controls retain input focus. This creates control behavior as if all the controls in the WINDOW had the SKIP attribute.”
So You won’t be able to do that. You might be able to simulate a TOOLBOX window using a normal window. That would at least allow your entry field.

Thanks for the reply. I have tried different ways to work around the problem. Including the rejection of the toolbox attribute. But this does not provide the necessary functionality, which works well in c6.

It is still possible to work around the problem of unavailability of input fields in toolbox windows. To do this, after opening the window, say window{prop:toolbox} =false. The window retains the property of always being on top of other windows, otherwise it behaves like a normal one. The difference from c6 is that it is not mdi.
