Best Dialog Extender / set focus in "file name" control?
« on: August 26, 2012, 12:52 AM »
Is there a dialog extender that will set focus to the "file name" control, so I can just start typing the file name without clicking there first? I have tried several and none of them do this. I have software for my scanner (HP PrecisionScan Pro) which worked fine under Windows XP. However, under Windows 7, the File Save dialog comes up with the focus set evidently nowhere. I have to either explicitly click in the "File Name" control, or press <Tab> four times first, before I can start typing the file name. This seems trivial, but it more than doubles the effort of saving a file.
The dialog extenders I've tried do all sorts of cool things, but none of them have this simple option. Does anyone know another way to make this happen, besides a dialog extender? Or how I would write my own dialog extender?
