focus - Manage the input focus

<H3><A NAME="M4">DESCRIPTION</A></H3>
|
||||
The <B>focus</B> command is used to manage the Tk input focus.
|
||||
At any given time, one window on each display is designated as
|
||||
the <I>focus window</I>; any key press or key release events for the
|
||||
display are sent to that window.
|
||||
It is normally up to the window manager to redirect the focus among the
|
||||
top-level windows of a display. For example, some window managers
|
||||
automatically set the input focus to a top-level window whenever
|
||||
the mouse enters it; others redirect the input focus only when
|
||||
the user clicks on a window.
|
||||
Usually the window manager will set the focus
|
||||
only to top-level windows, leaving it up to the application to
|
||||
redirect the focus among the children of the top-level.
|
||||
<P>
|
||||
Tk remembers one focus window for each top-level (the most recent
|
||||
descendant of that top-level to receive the focus); when the window
|
||||
manager gives the focus
|
||||
to a top-level, Tk automatically redirects it to the remembered
|
||||
window. Within a top-level Tk uses an <I>explicit</I> focus model
|
||||
by default. Moving the mouse within a top-level does not normally
|
||||
change the focus; the focus changes only when a widget
|
||||
decides explicitly to claim the focus (e.g., because of a button
|
||||
click), or when the user types a key such as Tab that moves the
|
||||
focus.
|
||||
<P>
|
||||
The Tcl procedure <B>tk_focusFollowsMouse</B> may be invoked to
|
||||
create an <I>implicit</I> focus model: it reconfigures Tk so that
|
||||
the focus is set to a window whenever the mouse enters it.
|
||||
The Tcl procedures <B>tk_focusNext</B> and <B>tk_focusPrev</B>
|
||||
implement a focus order among the windows of a top-level; they
|
||||
are used in the default bindings for Tab and Shift-Tab, among other
|
||||
things.
|
||||
<P>
|
||||
The <B>focus</B> command can take any of the following forms:
|
||||
<P>
|
||||
<DL>
|
||||
<P><DT><A NAME="M5"><B>focus</B></A><DD>
|
||||
Returns the path name of the focus window on the display containing
|
||||
the application's main window, or an empty string if no window in
|
||||
this application has the focus on that display. Note: it is
|
||||
better to specify the display explicitly using <B>-displayof</B>
|
||||
(see below) so that the code will work in applications using multiple
|
||||
displays.
|
||||
<P><DT><A NAME="M6"><B>focus </B><I>window</I></A><DD>
|
||||
If the application currently has the input focus on <I>window</I>'s
|
||||
display, this command resets the input focus for <I>window</I>'s display
|
||||
to <I>window</I> and returns an empty string.
|
||||
If the application doesn't currently have the input focus on
|
||||
<I>window</I>'s display, <I>window</I> will be remembered as the focus
|
||||
for its top-level; the next time the focus arrives at the top-level,
|
||||
Tk will redirect it to <I>window</I>.
|
||||
If <I>window</I> is an empty string then the command does nothing.
|
||||
<P><DT><A NAME="M7"><B>focus -displayof</B> <I>window</I></A><DD>
|
||||
Returns the name of the focus window on the display containing <I>window</I>.
|
||||
If the focus window for <I>window</I>'s display isn't in this
|
||||
application, the return value is an empty string.
|
||||
<P><DT><A NAME="M8"><B>focus -force </B><I>window</I></A><DD>
|
||||
Sets the focus of <I>window</I>'s display to <I>window</I>, even if
|
||||
the application doesn't currently have the input focus for the display.
|
||||
This command should be used sparingly, if at all.
|
||||
In normal usage, an application should not claim the focus for
|
||||
itself; instead, it should wait for the window manager to give it
|
||||
the focus.
|
||||
If <I>window</I> is an empty string then the command does nothing.
|
||||
<P><DT><A NAME="M9"><B>focus -lastfor</B> <I>window</I></A><DD>
|
||||
Returns the name of the most recent window to have the input focus
|
||||
among all the windows in the same top-level as <I>window</I>.
|
||||
If no window in that top-level has ever had the input focus, or
|
||||
if the most recent focus window has been deleted, then the name
|
||||
of the top-level is returned. The return value is the window that
|
||||
will receive the input focus the next time the window manager gives
|
||||
the focus to the top-level.
|
||||
|
||||
<P></DL>
|
||||
<H3><A NAME="M10">QUIRKS</A></H3>
|
||||
When an internal window receives the input focus, Tk doesn't actually
|
||||
set the X focus to that window; as far as X is concerned, the focus
|
||||
will stay on the top-level window containing the window with the focus.
|
||||
However, Tk generates FocusIn and FocusOut events just as if the X
|
||||
focus were on the internal window. This approach gets around a
|
||||
number of problems that would occur if the X focus were actually moved;
|
||||
the fact that the X focus is on the top-level is invisible unless
|
||||
you use C code to query the X server directly.
