    <p>In my application I have an embedded MSHTML control. The problem is that I cannot set focus to this control. I can click, select, push buttons etc, but it won't accept keyboard input and mouse wheel notifications as a result. Even left-clicks on the control do not set the focus. (The question is related to <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/296548/embedded-mshtml-mouse-wheel-ignored">this issue.</a>)</p> <p>Ultimately, I've tried 4 approaches. (Error handling is omitted here for brevity.) The first is sending WM_SETFOCUS to the control. </p> <pre><code>HWND iehwnd = ::FindWindowEx (m_oleObjectHWND, NULL, L"Shell DocObject View", NULL); if(iehwnd != NULL) { iehwnd = ::FindWindowEx (iehwnd, NULL, L"Internet Explorer_Server", NULL); if(iehwnd != NULL) { ::PostMessage(iehwnd, WM_SETFOCUS, (WPARAM)GetHWND(), NULL); } } </code></pre> <p>Using Winspector, I made sure that the messages came through to the control's window, but it seems to ignore them.</p> <p>The second is calling the focus() method of IHtmlWindow2. </p> <pre><code> IHTMLDocument2* pHTMLDoc2 = NULL; m_webBrowser-&gt;get_Document((IDispatch**)&amp;pHTMLDoc2); IHTMLWindow2* pWindow = 0; pHTMLDoc2-&gt;get_parentWindow(&amp;pWindow); pWindow-&gt;focus(); </code></pre> <p>This time, I get E_FAIL from focus(). </p> <p>MSDN says that the call may fail when the document hasn't loaded, but pHTMLDoc2->get_readyState() returns "complete". So this isn't the case.</p> <p>The third is doing the UIACTIVATE verb.</p> <pre><code> hret = m_oleObject-&gt;DoVerb(OLEIVERB_UIACTIVATE, NULL, clientSite, 0, (HWND)GetHWND(), &amp;posRect); </code></pre> <p>This seems to achieve nothing.</p> <p>The fourth is calling focus() of IHtmlDocument4.</p> <pre><code> IDispatch* pdisp = NULL; m_webBrowser-&gt;get_Document((IDispatch**)&amp;pdisp); IHTMLDocument4* pHTMLDoc4 = NULL; pdisp-&gt;QueryInterface(IID_IHTMLDocument4, (void**)(&amp;pHTMLDoc4)); pHTMLDoc4-&gt;focus(); </code></pre> <p>Does nothing.</p> <p>I've spent a full day on this already and know google's links by heart now :) Hoping for a hint from experts.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
