hi all,

is it possible to fake mouse-cursor focus on an SWT-control, e.g. a Button?

My problem is I've implemented a screen scraper similar to the one from
Visual Editor and I got the same 'problem' as they have:
Buttons created on an invisible shell don't have focus and look grey.
It's not possible to set the cursor there and back because windows fades
the button in, which means I would have to wait a certain time on the
real button --> hide the cursor from the user for ~1sec (too much).

Any ideas?

You shoudl ask that question on SWT groups
This is a tough one.
Afaik the asnwer is no, but there may be ways around it.
BTW, is your project open source?
It sounds cool.
