Hi all,
I'm trying to make a DrawingArea that's anchored in a TextView be able
to receive keyboard focus. I have the pieces - I can make a DrawingArea
that's in a regular container grab focus on being clicked. And I know
that an Entry, e.g., can get focus when anchored in a TextView. But I
haven't been able to make that work for the anchored DrawingArea.
Below is test app that illustrates my problem. I contains a TextView
that has both a customized DrawingArea and an Entry. When clicked, the
DrawingArea is supposed to grab focus, and when it has focus, the
DrawingArea is supposed to respond to key presses by drawing colored
rectangles. But the focus stays in the TextView even when I click on
the DrawingArea. In contrast, the Entry is happy to grab focus when
clicked. Below the TextView is a second customized DrawingArea, which
displays the behavior I want.
Any hints on how to make this work? Thanks,
Robert
