Multiple AxDrawing controls and stencils.

[Stumple]

I have multiple AxDrawing control instances I have opened up inside an
application. I have about 3 stencils I need to open up. The problem I am
having is the stencils don't always open up in the right drawing control and
that is if they even do open.

This is the code I am using to open them:

docs.OpenEx(s,
(short)VisOpenSaveArgs.visOpenRO +
(short)VisOpenSaveArgs.visOpenDocked);

That called for each drawing control. If I only have one drawing control
opened at once things work ok most of the time.

Thanks

The docs bit looks wrong, use the OpenEx method for just the
appropriate document.

The problem is somewhere else. I tried what you said.

I open two drawing controls. I hover one over the other and the one that I
am hoving over gets its stencils set and then I try to set my stencils again
and the one hovering gets its stencils set. After that the hovering window
is always set for the number of times I tried.

This is a known issue see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/931403.

Good Luck.

That didn't work to well. I couldn't find .SetFocus() in the .net version.
There is .Select() and .BringToFront().

See if .Focus() works for you. The article may be incorrect.
