Hi, all

I am creating an editor that looks like a form - i.e. various controls
distributed over its surface. When the editor is deactivated & reactivated,
I would like focus to remain where it was.

I don't see any obvious support for this - and, indeed, the plugin.xml
editor in Eclipse doesn't work this way: when it is reactivated, the first
control on the form gets focus.

Is there existing support? If not, how would I best do this? Perhaps have
the editor detect deactivation, find out which child has focus, stash that,
then restore focus on reactivation? I suppose this could be factored out as
a separate class.

Thanks

- rick
