Hello List,
after all these changes to the event manager and the introduction of the
appearance stuff I've reached again the point where I want to set the
cursor into a QxTextField programatically.
The situation is as follows: I have a QxTextField in a QxWindow. When
the user does an action which displays the window, the cursor should be
positioned automatically to the first text field. This is the behaviour
I would normally expect in a modal dialog.
Calling the setFocused(true) method on the text field does not seem to
have any effect. Please have a look at the Window_4 example.
I had a working (but ugly) code which seemed to do the trick but after
all these changes It doesn't work anymore in FireFox. With this the
caret was set to the end of the text in the text field.
proto._setCaretToEnd = function (control) {
if (control.createTextRange) {
var range = control.createTextRange();
range.collapse(false);
range.select();
}
else if (control.setSelectionRange) {
control.focus();
var length = control.value.length;
control.setSelectionRange(length, length);
}
};
proto._setCaretToStart = function(control) {
if (control.createTextRange) {
var range = control.createTextRange();
range.collapse(true);
range.select();
}
else if (control.setSelectionRange) {
control.focus();
control.setSelectionRange(0, 0);
}
};
proto._setFocus = function() {
try {
var el = this.getElement();
this._setCaretToEnd(el);
this.setFocused(true);
}
catch(err) {};
};
How can this be done? Is there a clean qooxdoo way of setting the focus?
Thank you for your help.
You can normally use the setFocused(true) which is IMHO the best way.
One simple thing you must understand is, that a focus work only for
visible elements in qooxdoo and html. That means you can attach a
afterAppear event to the textField and try to setFocused(true) there. I
haven't already tried this before. Just an first idea.

Best regards.
