Hello,

I'm using a org.eclipse.swt.browser.Browser in a view simply like this:

@Override
public void createPartControl(Composite parent) {
	Browser browser = new Browser(parent, SWT.NONE);
}

Now, when this view is NOT the active part in the workbench, and the user clicks in this view (=clicks somewhere in the browser) the view should be activated, but is NOT!

The same view in a RCP application gets activated in this situation.
The same behavior applies for the browser placed in an editor.

In the RAP application, the browser just does not recognize any MouseDown events when the view/editor is not the active part in the workbench.

Is there a way to activate the view/editor when the user clicks in the browser?

Thanks for your help!
Julia

PS: I'm working with Eclipse Luna and RAP 2.3.

Hi Julia,
this is a known issue in RAP. See bug:
436693: [Browser] No focus lost event when clicking a link in the Browser
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=436693
Focusing of Browser widget with mouse is currently not possible in RAP.
Mouse events in Browser (iframe) are absorbed by the iframe.
Best,
Ivan

Hi Ivan,

Thanks for your answer!
So, as a workaround, I would have to (somehow) recognize the focus event from the iframe in a javascript and call a function in eclipse (which I know is possible, but need to find out again how), which activates the editor/view.
For me it is important, that the part gets activated when the user clicks into it so that the corresponding actions get activated/deactivated.

Is it possible to get the iframe focus event in the html file, which is loaded in the browser?

Best,
Julia

Hi Julia,
here (https://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/t/771178/) is a long
discussion on the topic. We'll try to find a fix for 3.0 release.
HTH,
Ivan

OK... this hack works:

1) in HTML file:
document.body.onclick = function(){ focusBrowserFunction(); }

(actually the click event calls the function many times without being necessary,
but the body element has no focus event)

2) in createPartControl of editor/view:
new BrowserFunction(browser, "focusBrowserFunction") {
@Override
public Object function(Object[] arguments) {
// System.out.println("browserFunction...");
browser.setFocus();
return null;
}
};

Good luck for fixing this professionally in 3.0!

Best,
Julia
