P3Dv5.1 simconnect menu window focus issue [RESOLVED]

[737-SimGuy]

Hi,

I've noticed with P3Dv5.1 that the FSUIPC simconnect popup menu window selectors, such as for GSX, do not trigger the numbered selection. With some trial and error I've found that it's a window focus issue with the new HTML window menus. I have posted to LM forum as well but no responses. If I click on the menu window with the mouse then FSUIPC will trigger the menu items as in previous P3D versions.

My question is, is it possible for FSUIPC to either force the menu window focus, direct the trigger function directly to the menu window, or some other magic to eliminate having to click on the window first? Hopefully of course LM will fix this, but having no response from them in several days makes me wonder.

Thanks for listening.

Do you have the following option set in the [General] section of your FSUIPC6.ini:
    LuaTrapKeyEvent=No
?
If not, could you first try with that please.

I don't think this is possible as FSUIPC only has access to the main window, but if the main window has focus I would have thought any input would be directed to the current active child window (i.e. the menu window).

It might be worth trying with the SimConnect menu controls instead of the numeric keypresses. i.e. SIMCONNECT MENU n where n runs from 0 to 9.

As well as what Pere says, maybe also worth checking you have the following set in the [General] section of your ini (and if not, add):
    SetForegroundOnKeySend=Yes

and. if you are sending the keys on button presses, you could also try setting this:
    KeyboardFocus=Yes
 

But again, these changes will only set the focus to the main FS window, so not sure if the focus would go to the hrml menu window....

Hi Pete. I just checked my code as I *thought* I was using those controls, turns out I was not. I will try that thanks!

Thanks John, I will also check those other settings and report back.
