[Tile-dev] odd background state...

[Bryan O. <oa...@ba...>]

I'm encountering a problem with tile widgets getting into a background 
state on MacOSX. I don't know if this is a bug in tile or a bug in my 
expectations.

I have an entry widget that, when it gains focus, 'pack forgets' one 
frame of widgets and packs a different frame of widgets. When it loses 
focus it does the opposite (think: context-sensitive toolbar).

If I click in the entry, the other set of widgets shows up fine. The 
problem comes when I then click on another app, which causes my app to 
lose focus and go into the background. This causes the frames to swap 
due to the FocusOut binding and everything gets the "background" state. 
So far, so good.

However, when I again click in the entry which brings my app to the 
front and sets the focus, all the tile checkbuttons have a state of 
"background" even though it is the front-most app (and thus, appear 
dimmed, yet still enabled). Adding ".button state {}" doesn't seem to 
have any effect.

Does this ring any bells? Currently my <FocusIn> proc looks something 
like this:

   proc focusIn {} {
     place .sb ...
     raise .sb
     .sb state ""
     foreach w [pack slaves .sb] {
       $w state ""
     }
   }
