Hello,
One thing more: launch a WordPad (Start->Program Files->Accessories->WordPad).
Then switch to some other application and then click on WordPad again.
You will see that cursor STAYS AT PREVIOUS POSITION.
And another click is needed to move it to a new place.
You can try this also with Word and any other text editor. You always need to
activate the application first.
In AmiBroker there is one more level: as AFL editors are embedded into dialogs
(Automatic Analysis, Indicator Builder, Commentary) the dialog window
has to get the focus first.
This is how Microsoft Windows works. It is not my design. Sorry.
Best regards,
Tomasz Janeczko
