Sometimes cannot type after loading the WebKitBrowser

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hi there,

I have a VB project that makes use of WebKitBrowser as the main browser.
In some cases (50:50), whenever I open a new URL from a URL list stored in my 
dataTables, the browser does not allow me to type anything.

I need to change program, type anything in that other program, and then return 
to the WebKitBrowser and now I can type in the WebKitBrowser.

What is the cause of this?
Is it common?
Is there something that I miss?

Please help

I believe it is a focus-issue, so at the document completed event try using 
(sender as WebKitBrowser).Focus();

Hi Tsumali,

that focus seems to be working.
But just in case, I'll use my webkitbrowser for 2-3 days to check if this 
happens again before confirming that focus is the solution

I will do then. Have you fixed your problem? Confirm that the solution worked 
so that this issue is not open.

In a few cases this problem still happens.
I am not sure why.
I need to find the similarities between the websites in which this problem 
arises first to report to you.

I am experiencing the same problem.
It's a little worse perhaps. Calling Focus() on the WebKitBrowser object brings 
the focus to the HTML element. The TAB key works fine to switch between 
textfield and button. But neighter typing nor RETURN key works.

I think the reason for the working TAB key is that WebKitBrowser.ProcessCmdKey 
implementation handles Keys.Tab seperately from other key events.

What's going on here? I'm currently working with OpenWebKitSharp 2.7.2 on .NET 
2.0 basis. The focus problem occurs on Windows 7 and XP systems.

Last hint: if I take away all Focus() calls it seams to work after i click into 
the window. So a dirty workarround for us could be to simulate a mouse click in 
the right position. Help greatly appriciated!

Thanks in advance

Sven

With OpenWebKitSharp 2.8 this must have been fixed. The problem was indeed 
because of focus methods that were handled incorrectly inside WebUIDelegate.cs. 
Please confirm that with the new version the bug has been fixed
