gtkWidgetGrabFocus
to move the focus
to a particular widget, and gtkContainerSetFocusChain
to
change the focus tab order. So you may want to investigate those
functions instead.gtkWidgetChildFocus(object, direction)
object
direction
TRUE
if focus ended up inside widget
gtkWidgetChildFocus
is called by containers as the user moves
around the window using keyboard shortcuts. direction
indicates
what kind of motion is taking place (up, down, left, right, tab
forward, tab backward). gtkWidgetChildFocus
emits the
"focus"
signal; widgets override the default handler
for this signal in order to implement appropriate focus behavior.
The default ::focus handler for a widget should return TRUE
if
moving in direction
left the focus on a focusable location inside
that widget, and FALSE
if moving in direction
moved the focus
outside the widget. If returning TRUE
, widgets normally
call gtkWidgetGrabFocus
to place the focus accordingly;
if returning FALSE
, they don't modify the current focus location.
This function replaces gtkContainerFocus()
from GTK+ 1.2.
It was necessary to check that the child was visible, sensitive,
and focusable before calling gtkContainerFocus()
.
gtkWidgetChildFocus
returns FALSE
if the widget is not
currently in a focusable state, so there's no need for those checks.
