Well, the only other thing I can think of is to keep track in a custom
property/global/etc. of each object that gets the focusIn message, and
then send a message to the previous object. But keep in mind that an
unlocked field won't get a 'focusIn' , so you'd need to do the same
thing for 'openField'. Something like a frontscript (unless you're not
trapping focusIn/openField) that is:
on focusIn
if the uLastFocusedObj of this stack is not empty then
send "NewFocus" && (the long id of the target) to \
(the uLastFocusedObj of this stack)
end if
set the uLastFocusedObj of this stack to \
the long id of the target
pass focusIn
end focusIn
on openField
if the uLastFocusedObj of this stack is not empty then
send "NewFocus" && (the long id of the target) to \
(the uLastFocusedObj of this stack)
end if
set the uLastFocusedObj of this stack to \
the long id of the target
pass openField
end openField
And of course, don't forget to clear the custom prop (if you store the
flag that way) when your stack opens (or just don't ever save the
stack). Other than that, I can't think of a way to do it other than a
"send", since the 'focusOut'/'closeField'/'exitField' message is sent
to the "old" object BEFORE the 'focusIn' is sent to the "new" object.
