FocusListener and mouse [message #461295] Tue, 20 September 2005 13:18 Go to next message

hi,
i added a FocusListener to a couple of Text-fields to make the content
highlight when the Text gains the focus.

FocusAdapter fa=new FocusAdapter(){
public void focusGained(FocusEvent e){
Text t=(Text)e.widget;
t.selectAll();
}
};

it works well, if i use the TAB-key to go from Text to Text, it does not
really work when using the mouse:
- i click into (mousebutton down) and the content is highlighted
- i release the mousebutton (mousebutton up) and the selection is gone.

how do i prevent the misbehaviour on mousebutton up?
any help appreciated.

the tab key, works with the traverseListener.
For your problem with the mouse, I think that you can set:
e.doIt = false;
if you want to stop the event after you have highlighted the text, or into the mouseUp event catching.

FocusEvent does not have doit :-(

but i found my thoughts overly complex: at least for stw/gtk (i use it in
an rcp-application) highlighting of content while getting there with TAB
seems to be the default. so i removed the FocusListener and added a
MouseLsitener with exactly the same functionality ... eh voila.

regarding TraversalListener (i still have problems with the term
Traversal): is that listener responsible for creating a chain like "if the
user presses TAB go to widget a, next TAB got tow widget b, next TAB
widget c" and so on?

regards

yes, its by default. But if you want to cange that order, you have to create a collection with the widgets and "force" the next.
