[Fxruby-users] Spoke too soon...

[Hal F. <ha...@hy...>]

The escape is not working properly either. It's intercepting all
keystrokes and throwing them away.

   boxtext.connect(SEL_KEYPRESS) do |sender, sel, event|
     if event.code == KEY_Escape
       sender.killFocus
     end
   end

How do I pass the non-Esc keys back into the FXText object?

Try this instead:

	boxtest.connect(SEL_KEYPRESS) do |sender, sel, event|
		if event.code == KEY_Escape
			sender.killFocus
		else
			false # i.e. signal that we didn't handle this message
		end
	end

Hope this helps,

Lyle

Oops, meant to send this to the list, not just to Lyle.

Works beautifully, thank you.

What about the other issue? Is it doable?

I want to click on the MDIClient background and take the focus
away from the child.

Hmmm. Try this:

*	Make sure that the MDI client widget is enabled (i.e. it's not "deaf" 
to events)
	by calling its enable() method after you create it.

*	Add a handler on the MDI client for the SEL_LEFTBUTTONRELEASE
	(or SEL_LEFTBUTTONPRESS, if you prefer) and do the killFocus() in
	that one.

Let me know how it goes,

Lyle
