Programmatically Focus on Workarea [message #521104]

Hi there,

i couldn't find a way to programmatically set the focus on the workarea after clicking the submodule node in the navigatin area. in other words: i need the behaviour of the Riena Keyboard Navigation "Focus on Workarea - F7", but automatically.
Is it possible to set the focus to a certain ridget afterwards, instead of only the first ridget in the ui? I also couldn't set the default button with setDefaultButton(IActionRidget).

Hi Matthias,

the F7 shortcut or clicking in the navigation just invokes the view's #setFocus() method (i.e. same as in RCP). If you want to change the behavior just overwrite it and focus somewhere else. Try this:

public void setFocus() {
if (canRestoreFocus()) {
super.setFocus();
} else {
// your stuff
}
}

Regarding setDefaultButton(): please post more details and the version of Riena you are using. A snippet would be best.

Kind regards,
Elias.

Hi Elias,
meanwhile i migrated to Riena 2.0.0 M6. i much appreciate the changes, setting default button now for each widget is great.

about focusing the workarea:
just clicking the navigation draws/shows the workarea but doesn't focus it. only F7 does that.
to be clear, "setting focus" mabye a little bit confusing here: i want to "switch" to the workarea without either clicking into it nor pressing F7.
