Thought about your points on isigraph focus for a few more minutes and
realized the solution is probably already there. If you disable an
isigraph control it won't get any events and will perhaps behave the way
you wish. Please try some experiments and let me know if you need more.
That is, before the pshow do a:
wd'setenable go 0'
to avoid focus and all other events on the control.

This beta fixes: viewmat display problem; glqhandles result in print
event for first page; and focus/focuslost issues.
focus changes:
The isigraph focus/focuslost events have been cleaned up for both
Jwdw
and Jwdp. Previously there were cases where the events weren't
triggered
and there were problems vs setfocus and mouse events.
The action of setting focus on an isigraph in a mouse (left, middle,
right) down event is now done automatically by the system. Previously
having to do this with an explicit wd'setfocus g' caused various
problems.
On a form with two isigraph controls g0 and g1, where g0 has focus, a
mouse click on g1 will trigger events:
g1 mbldown
go focuslost
g1 focus
g1 mblup
The scripts have not yet been updated to reflect this change. Most of
the uses of setfocus are no longer necessary and will be removed in
the
next beta.
In general focus should be handled by the user and the system and
should
rarely be done directly in the app with wd setfocus.
IMO, automatic focus change by mouse creates more problems than it
solved.
Previous behaviour can never restored by user code. Because once focus
is lost
from a control and transfer to isigraph, although the focus can be
switch back
by setfocus, but the lostfocus/gotfocus event on the control can not
be undone.
Previously, I can use isigraph to simulate a focus-less panel, mouse
click on
different part of it for mouseclick event and trigger new action. This
will not
change focus of the orginal controls. On the other hand, pressing
button will
change focus to the button, this is what I like to avoid.
When I mouse click on isigraph to get an event, inside the event I
create and
show another form. Previously the form will be in front of the
isigraph. Now the
gotfocus event put the isigraph in the front and hide the form.
Will it be possible to roll back to previous behaviour that mouse
click will not
transfer focus?
