I wouldn't know which forms as it's variable. &nbsp; I think that was your point? &nbsp; I'm now wondering if this is a windows trait

These other &quot;overlaid forms&quot;, are they forms from the same application that contains the treeview?<br />
<br />
And how do you determine which form you want to affect?

These other "overlaid forms", are they forms from the same application that contains the treeview?

And how do you determine which form you want to affect?

Hi<br />
<br />
I have a treeview control on a VB6 form which is working great however whenever I send strings (via a serial macro key) to other overlaid forms I seem to have accidentally made the treeview focused and then the string gets sent to that which then jumps through the string to find a node with that string. &nbsp;Is it possible to turn this off in the treeview control?<br />
<br />
Cheers

Prevent string from searching Treeview

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
