Search Box doesn't close when Lister is open with Search Box

[HPA]

When opening the search dialog in TC and searching for some text, will result in a number of files found.
When I select one of these files and press F3, then this file will be opened in the Lister.
Now I open the search dialog in the Lister for searching another string (Ctrl-F), and I keep it open without pressing OK or Cancel button.
Now switching back to TC with the open search dialog (Alt-Tab).

The search dialog cannot be closed by pressing Esc, Cancel or 'X' icon!

And strange effect appear when clicking one of the search results, the line selected disappears.

Only after closing the search dialog in the lister, will the search dialog in TC close. TC pops to the front of the listerwindow I just closed the searchbox.

and it gets even stranger:
do as HPA writes then open another search result with f3 do a STRG+F and try to close the first STRG+F with Esc/X - it doesnt work

This i cannot see.

This effect appears after I have pressed the Cancel button.
If I then click on one of the lines in the Search Results this line becomes blanc.

But I can confirm that one too
do as AHP said and then return to search results - dbl click an entry and click on another entry - voilá gone

Continued: then ALT+TAB to your Browser ie and then back and ALL entrys are gone

This effect appears after I have pressed the Cancel button.

Woa, true! Nice

Searching for some text in the file isn't necessarily needed.

Just searching for a file is enough to replicate the error.
(eg. Search for: *.cpp)

The otherway around the same thing happens.

View a file in TC with F3, file will be opened in the lister.
Open the search dialog in the lister, Ctrl-F.
Go back to TC and open search dialog, Alt-F7.
Go back to the lister and the search dialog cannot be closed.

This is a known limitation of Windows which cannot be avoided. The only solution is to use a separate viewer instead of internal.

[Sir_SiLvA]

and what about the strange find-result-listbox?

a) start a search no matter what u search as long as u get some files u can view with f3
b) f3 a file u like and press STRG+F
c) Alt+Tab back to TC and DOUBLE-Click any Filename u like
d - version 1) now use Cursor-Down/-Up Keys => Entrys are becoming invisible
d - version 2) instead of using Cursor-keys click on a Search entry -> files disappear
e) Doublick for the second time (or use enter) you get the Error-Message "No item selected!"

Confirmed! Weird indeed.

This is related. While a modal dialog box is open in any part of totalcmd.exe, several functions which are handled in the main message loop will not work (because these functions are replaced by the message loop of the search dialog).

Is this the same problem as above?

- Open File A in the Lister
- search for a string that is not in the file (f.e "xxx" )
- do not close the "Not found" message
- open another file in the lister
-> you can't use ESC to close the second lister (until you close the "Not found" in the first lister session

Btw:
maybe you could place an invisible cancel-button (1*1 Pixel, TabStop = false, BackColor = White, Cancel = True) somewhere in the lister, so that you don't have to check windows message queue manual for an ESC-Keystroke

Using TC7.50, you can define

Code: Select all

%COMMANDER_PATH%\TOTALCMD.EXE /S=L

as external Viewer.

This should solve the problem.
