Colleagues:
I found references on DocuCom components in others' posts. Maybe some of you familiar with the ActiveX in subject and can if not help to solve the problem, than at least to understand the cause of that problem.
I downloaded the control in subject (eval., of course) and started test it in VFP 7.0. It works pretty good, but I noticed very strange behavior of the form containing that PDF Reader: once a PDF file is loaded into the Reader - all controls and the containing form itself stop responding to any keystrokes. Mouse works, though. But you know the standard requirement: whatever user is allowed to do with mouse - (s)he must be able to do with the keyboard.
In example, you must provide a hot-key for your buttons, like "Open File" should look like "Open File", so instead of mouse-clicking user could press Alt+F and get the same result.
But with this ZEON PDF Reader, all the hot-keys become non-functional once PDF file has been loaded!
I tried FORM.KeyPreview = .T. and DO CASE/CASE nKeyCode = 102 .AND. nShifCtrlAlt = 4 && Alt+F, etc., but that did not help.
I tried ON KEY LABEL Alt+<letter> - does not work either.
Have any of you ever come across such behavior? Or worked with ZEON's PDF Reader OCX?
TYIA!
Regards,
Ilya
