DataExplorer freezing

rbuser

I am creating my datamodule holding my report + designer at runtime.

I don't have full information at the moment but I have noticed quite
frequently that the data explorer wont respond to mouse/key input. I can
show/hide it in the designer menu option but it seems as though it is
completely disabled (can't even close using the X button in the caption)

Is this a known problem?

No.

I suspect there is modal dialog being shown somewhere. Delphi does not
handle window layering when task switching amongst applications.

Try adding an event-handler to the Application.OnActivate event that always
brings the active window to front....


example....

Application.OnActivate := ehApplicationActivate;

procedure TmyEndUserSolution.ehApplicationActivate(Sender: TObject);
begin

if Screen.ActiveForm.WindowState = wsMinimized then
Screen.ActiveForm.WindowState := wsMaximized;

Screen.ActiveForm.BringToFront;

end;
