Anyone have a solution as to why the Refresh() method takes focus?

Perhaps a workaround so that I could find out the currently focused 
window/control and then revert back to it after I call Refresh()? I briefly 
experimented with this but couldn't find something that worked.

Thank you.

Hello Albert,

This isn't any help, but I tried to duplicated the behavior you described
and couldn't.  Heres the steps I took;

  - Created toolbar button whose "OnClick" event-handler makes a call to
Browser's Refresh() method.
 - Compile/Run program
 -  Load HTML file into Browser window using navigate.
 -  Force keyboard focus to an TEdit control on the main form by clicking
with mouse
 -  Press toolbar button to refresh Browser control and TEdit control still
has keyboard focus.

Does the HTML page you're refreshing have any java script which could be
setting focus of a input field with in HTML document?

Hi James,

Thanks for trying this out. I did some more testing and something weird is 
happening. It may not be the web browser.

What I found out was that it didn't take the focus from my edit control 
until I clicked on TCppWebBrowser then went back to the edit control. From 
then on, subsequent refreshes made the browser take control from the edit 
control. If I started the process over again with a new document in the edit 
control and new URL in the browser, then it would work again, until I 
clicked somewhere (or did something else) in the browser... at which point 
refreshing the browser would again take the focus from the edit control. If 
I don't click or do anything in the browser control, then it works correctly 
and doesn't take the focus from the edit control. Very strange.

I have a timer that auto refreshes the web browser every 10 seconds.
