unwanted focus
What is the magic of properties which will let me leave the traversalOn on for a field (so that it can be typed into), yet when the window gets focus the field will not automatically also get focus? Am I to resort to having an offscreen dummy field to avoid unwanted opening of the visible field? Is there a cleaner way? -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World Media Corporation Multimedia Design and Development for Mac, Windows, UNIX, and the Web _ [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.FourthWorld.com Tel: 323-225-3717 ICQ#60248349Fax: 323-225-0716 Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/metacard@lists.runrev.com/ Info: http://www.xworlds.com/metacard/mailinglist.htm Please send bug reports to [EMAIL PROTECTED], not this list.
Re: unwanted focus
Well, you could create a button with all properties except traversalOn turned off, and make it layer #1. That way, when the window opens, the focus is on the button, but there is no visible indicator that it has the focus. Tab once, and you go to the field. I'll look for a cleaner way...

Re: unwanted focus
Here's two more: #1) on openCard click at 1,1 -- assuming you don't have something there end openCard OR #2) on openCard set the traversalOn of fld 1 to true end openCard on closeCard set the traversalOn of fld 1 to false end closeCard This will have the effect of having the field's traversalOn actually off when the card opens, and then it is set to true so the next tab will take you to the field. I prefer #1 myself. :-) Ken Ray Sons of Thunder Software Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web Site: http://www.sonsothunder.com/ - Original Message - From: Richard Gaskin [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, August 30, 2001 8:07 PM Subject: unwanted focus What is the magic of properties which will let me leave the traversalOn on for a field (so that it can be typed into), yet when the window gets focus the field will not automatically also get focus?
