I'm looking for a way to programmatically manipulate which line in Fl_Browser has keyboard focus (fltk-1.1.8). That is, not the line which is selected but the line which has keyboard focus e.g. by using cursor up/down keys.
So far the best way I've found is (in my Fl_Browser subclass): int focus=lineno(selection()); // get focus Fl_Browser_::select(find_line(focus),0); // set focus This was very difficult to discover because: - Fl_Browser::lineno() and Fl_Browser::find_line() methods are undocumented - selection() and select() belong to Fl_Browser_, and documentation (and method names) imply they manipulate selection while actually they manipulate focus - Even weirder, Fl_Browser::select() really does manipulate selection I'd suggest to implement new methods set_focus() and get_focus() like in fltk2 and efltk. Are there such methods already? if not, I'll open a RFE. Also it is very bad practice to have overloaded method do something completely different (in case of select()). That is another RFE if I'm correct. _______________________________________________ fltk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.easysw.com/mailman/listinfo/fltk
