[Pythoncard-users] Focus on backgrounds

[Liam C. <cy...@gm...>]

Hi all, 

Is there a way to call setFocus on the window when it opens? 

I have 3 windows - 

Main 
 | 
 ChildA
  |
  ChildB

ChildA opens ChildB, assigns Main as the parent of ChildB and then
closes itself. This is fine except Main is now in the foreground, and
B behind it....

I tried self.backgrounds['bgTemplate'].setFocus(), but that doesn't work, 
I'm currently using

def on_initialize(self, event):
        self.components[self.components.keys()[0]].setFocus()

in ChildB.

This works, but it seems a bit hacky, and I get a flicker as Main
moves to the front, and then B does, which is distracting.

There's probably something very obvious I'm missing, there usually is,
but any help would be appreciated. I used findfiles.py and all the
returns for 'focus' related to findFocus and setFocus being called on
widgets.


Regards,
