focusLost on a shell [message #458557] Fri, 15 July 2005 19:07 Go to next message

Hi there,
i have two windows with an own shell. "Window" two has the role of a
MessageBox and will only be displayed if an error in "window" one occured.
Due to the fact of a smaller "window" two, the user has the possibility to
set the focus to the first "window" with a simple click in "window" one.
Now I added a FocusListener to "window" two and implemented the focusLost()
method. I want that "window" two stays always in the foreground of "window"
one as long as the OK-Button is pushed in "window" two.

But if I set the setFocus() method in the FocusListener of "window" two and
the "window" looses the focus, it won't be set to the foreground.
Do I have to set another method of the shell, or the display or the
composite of the window to display "window" two in the foreground???
How can I activate "window" two again???

Thanks for your help!

Stefan

Hi Stefan,

You should not need to do a focus dance; setting the MessageBox's parent to
window1 should ensure that it stays in the foreground. Does the small
snippet below work for you? And if not, which platform are you running on?
Or have I misunderstood your question?

public static void main(String[] args) {
Display display = new Display ();
final Shell window1 = new Shell(display);
window1.setBounds(10,10,300,300);
new Button(window1, SWT.PUSH).setBounds(10,10,50,50);
window1.open();
MessageBox window2 = new MessageBox(window1, SWT.NONE);
window2.setMessage("error box");
window2.open();
while (!window1.isDisposed()) {
if (!display.readAndDispatch()) display.sleep();
}
display.dispose();
}
