Hello,

I'm writing a custom drawn SWT widget and my widget class extends Canvas.
Everething works pretty well, the only problem is that my widget doesn't
receive focus when traversing with the "Tab" key. Nor setFocus, neither
forceFocus methods a called. Programm call of setFocus method works fine -
my widget become focused (i.e. isFocusedComponent() returns true).

My question is how to make traversal focus keys work properly with my
widget?

Thanks,
Alexander Kitaev.

Finally after I understood what the problem was - to make Canvas
subclass focusable with the traversion keys one have to hook at least
one of SWT.keyDown or SWT.keyUp events, otherwise widget will be skipped
when traversing by tab order.
