3.4.21: CWX loses focus

Thanks Bill!

I could swear there is something else going on here. I've been chasing several DX-peditions the past few days so I've left the rig running for hours at a time.

I understand that if I click on my logging software, for example, that F1 will not key the rig - it will do whatever the logging software does.

Sometimes, I can click back into SmartSDR and F1 will send the CWX macro. Sometimes it won't. If I click in the separate CWX window, it will.

The kicker is the intermittent behavior I'm seeing. SmartSDR has the focus. F1 sends the macro. Then I use the mouse to slide the slice, or widen/narrow the slice, or slide the panadapter. After doing that, and not leaving SmartSDR, F1 no longer send the macro. I have to click on the CWX window for it to work. It doesn't always happen and I'm still looking for a pattern.

Other times if I have to wake the computer back up it won't transmit at all, but I think that's a different issue.

I've written code to manage multiple FlexControls (I have 2 now). It works no matter what app has the focus. I have a USB numeric keyboard. I am going to extend that program to map keys on the keypad to SmartSDR functions, like CWX macros. Then it won't matter what has focus either and I can forget about the F-ing F keys :)
