WebBrowser Control active element doesn't regain focus after ALT+TABbing to another app and back
When I add a WebBrowser control to a Form in .NET and then set its DocumentText to include an html input element of type="text" there appears to be a slight bug in how this text field retains focus when switching between apps using ALT+TAB. If you set focus to the text field and then hit ALT+TAB to go to another application and then hit ALT+TAB and select your original application again, the embedded WebBrowser control doesn't set focus back to the text field that you just left. However, strangely enough, if you do this ritual twice in a row, the text field mysteriously regains focus as you would have expected on the first run through of switching back and forth between the applications.
Here's the simple code of my WebBrowser control embedded on a .NET form:
using
System;using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;
namespace TestWebBrowserFocusIssues
{
[System.Runtime.InteropServices.ComVisibleAttribute(true)]
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
webBrowser1.ObjectForScripting = this;
webBrowser1.DocumentText = "<html><head></head><body><input name=\"in1\" size=\"15\" tabindex=\"2\" onblur=\"window.external.BrowserCtrlLostFocus('in1')\" onfocus=\"window.external.BrowserCtrlGotFocus('in1')\" type=\"text\"/><input name=\"result\" size=\"15\" onblur=\"window.external.BrowserCtrlLostFocus('in2');\" onfocus=\"window.external.BrowserCtrlGotFocus('in2')\" type=\"text\" tabindex=\"1\"></body></html>";
}
public void BrowserCtrlGotFocus(String ctrlid)
{
Console.WriteLine("Ctrl"+ctrlid+"Got Focus");
}
public void BrowserCtrlLostFocus(String ctrlid)
{
Console.WriteLine("Ctrl"+ctrlid+"Lost Focus");
}
}//end of class Form1
}//end of namespace
What I can't figure out is why the WebBrowser control appears to handle this different from Internet Explorer itself or
other standard browsers that return the focus to the input text field that had it when you do an application
switch via ALT+TAB?
Any ideas or suggestions?

Best regards,
Peter Huang- Looks like I'm running into the same issue. Have you had any luck on a solution so far? We have experimented using the SendKeys method to send {TAB} key presses to the WebBrowser control to in a sense "wake it up" but this unfortunately has also caused other side effects. For more information please see my post below.
