Currency Edit Control & Calculator Focus

[Administrator]

I''ve been having a little problem with the currency edit control. When I click on the calculator button the calculator comes up but looks like it doesn''t have focus. When I type numbers after the calculator comes up they go into the edit field not the calculator. Once I click at least one button in the calculator I can type numbers into it. Has anyone else seen this? Is there a way to get the calculator to take typed in numbers as soon as it comes up? Thanks for the help.

Hi Scott,

Thanks for your feedback on this issue. I do see the above mentioned problem here and have notified the development team in this regard. Ideally the PopupCalculator should have focus when its displayed, such that numbers can be keyed into it. We will try our very best to fix this issue at the earliest. Thanks for choosing Syncfusion products.

Did this ever get resolved?

I have the same issue in the syncfusion 9.2 libs.

It sounds like a focus issue. When the calculator opens, it doesn’t automatically take keyboard focus, so your input keeps going to the main edit field. That’s why it only works after you click inside it.

You can fix this by explicitly setting focus to the calculator when it appears. For example, call SetFocus() on the calculator control right after it opens. If it’s a dialog, you can also handle it in OnInitDialog() or immediately after showing the window.

Also make sure no other control is stealing focus during initialization, as that can override your setting.

We have tested the WinForms CurrencyEdit control in the latest Syncfusion version 33.2.3, and we are pleased to confirm that in the current version, when the calculator popup is opened, keyboard focus is automatically set to the calculator, allowing users to start typing values immediately without any additional interaction. Because of this, there is no need to explicitly call SetFocus() or handle focus in OnInitDialog() when opening the calculator control.

Please let us know if you have any further questions or concerns. We’ll be happy to assist you further.
