IOverlaySplashScreenHandle.QueueFocus(Control) Method

Allows you to specify the control that should be focused when the Overlay Form is closed.

Namespace: DevExpress.XtraSplashScreen

Assembly: DevExpress.XtraEditors.v24.2.dll

Declaration

C#

bool QueueFocus(
    Control control
)

VB.NET

Function QueueFocus(
    control As Control
) As Boolean

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
control	Control	The control that should be focused when the Overlay Form is closed.

Returns

Type	Description
Boolean	true if the control is successfully specified; otherwise, false.

Remarks

Use the Close() method to close the Overlay Form.

When you display an Overlay Form, the focused control loses focus. When the Overlay Form is closed, this control gets focus back. The QueueFocus(Control) and QueueFocus(IntPtr) methods allow you to specify the control that should be focused when the Overlay Form is closed. Pass IntPtr.Zero to prevent all controls from having focus.

You can also use the QueueCloseUpAction(Action) method to specify the action that should be executed when the Overlay Form is closed.

Example

The code below shows how to not focus any control when an Overlay Form is closed.

void ReloadData() {
    using(var handle = SplashScreenManager.ShowOverlayForm(gridControl)) {
        handle.QueueFocus(IntPtr.Zero); 
        ReloadDataCore();
    }
}         

VB.NET

Private Sub ReloadData()
    Using handle = SplashScreenManager.ShowOverlayForm(gridControl)
        handle.QueueFocus(IntPtr.Zero)
        ReloadDataCore()
    End Using
End Sub
