[comp.windows.news] NeWS forms

robert@iclitc.UUCP (Robert O'Dea) (11/16/89)

We are currently developing a keyboard driven forms package to run
under NeWS 1.1 using liteitems.  TextItems on a form should be
able to grab the input focus regardless of mouse position.  We
also wish to pass the focus back and forth between TextItems on a
form (i.e. to implement tabbing between fields).

So far we have been able to get a text item to retain the focus
once it has been activated by a mouse click (by doing /DefaultMode
setinputfocus).  However we cannot grab the focus or exchange
focus between two TextItems.

Can anyone out there help?  Responses by mail please and we will
summarise on the net.
