PtContainerGiveFocus

Arguments

Returns

t if successful.

Description

This function gives focus to the widget. The event argument is used to pass a known event to both the object losing focus and the widget, which is gaining focus. If the event is not important to you, pass a new instance of the PhEvent class.

Example

This example, ex_PtContainerGiveFocus.g, is included in the product distribution.

#!/usr/cogent/bin/phgamma

/*
This example puts up a window with 10 button widgets.  The focus is
moved through the buttons by a timer calling the change_focus()
function every 0.2 sec.  The appearance of the buttons (a rendered
focus) changes when they receive focus.
