Hi,
I am using a FormText control to display some labels, however, I want to
prevent tab to enter into this control at all. Today it enters but does
not show the cursor. I want the tab key to completely skip the FormText
Control.
Since I do not have direct access to the FormText code, I tried to add a
listener for Tab key and reflectively invoke the "advance" method on it as
follows, but this does not work either.
label1.addListener(SWT.Traverse, new Listener() {
public void handleEvent(Event e) {
if (e.detail == SWT.TRAVERSE_TAB_NEXT) {
try {
Object obj = //reflective call to Advance
e.doit = ((Boolean)obj).booleanValue();
}
...
});
I will really appreciate if someone can tell me what to do here and how to
resolve this issue.
Thanks,
Irum.

Hi,
I did look at the classes mentioned by you, but it does not solve my
problem exactly. Basically, I have 2 controls in my form, one is a
FormText, and the other can be any SWT/more complex widget.
I actually have a series of them, so something like:
Label1 Text
Label2 Combo
Label3 Something more complex
Now, what I want is that the tab always comes in the 2nd field, but skips
all the labels.
If I set e.doit = false, for the labels, then the tab does not continue
past the first label. If I set it to true, I see the same behaviour as
today.
How can I just skip tab from the FormText, but ensure it goes to the next
control on the page?
Thanks for your responses.
Irum.

Hi,
I was hoping if someone can please help me on this one, or direct me to
some resources where I can find the solution.
Really appreciate your help.

I don't understand; Label widgets don't take focus (on Windows, at
least). So the default focus traversal for a Composite should
automatically find the "next" focusable control.

Hi,
In my example, the Labels are actually "FormText" object and they are
taking focus, although I do not see any cursor.
Thanks.
