You're headed in the right direction. I think you have to implement IFocusManagerComponent on the renderer, and handle KEY_FOCUS_CHANGE. FWIW, I wouldn't use a Form since it is pretty heavy.

This list uses a Form with 2 TextInput controls as an item renderer. The user should be able to navigate through the input fields using either the mouse or the tab key. The List default behavior when editable=true is to set the focus to the renderers themselves, but not to their sub components, so the Form itself will have a focus rectangle but not the TextInput controls. What I tried to do is to override the setFocus() on the Form subcomponent and move the focus to the first TextInput and on that TextInput focusOut set its focus to the 2nd TextInput. That didn't work as expected, and even if it did, I'm sure the is a better way to achieve this behavior. Thank you, Almog Kurtser http://www.mostlyflex.com <http://www.mostlyflex.com>
