NAME
XtSetKeyboardFocus - focus events on a child widget
SYNTAX
XtSetKeyboardFocus(Widget subtree, Widget descendant);
ARGUMENTS
subtree
Specifies either the widget in the subtree structure which is to receive the
keyboard event, or
Note that it is not an error to specify
when no input focus was previously set.
descendant
Specifies the widget .
DESCRIPTION
If a future
or
event occurs within the specified subtree,
causes
to remap and send the event to the specified descendant widget.
When there is no modal cascade,
keyboard events can occur within a widget W in one of three ways:
W has the X input focus.
W has the keyboard focus of one of its ancestors,
and the event occurs within the ancestor or one of the ancestor's descendants.
No ancestor of W has a descendant within the keyboard focus,
and the pointer is within W.
When there is a modal cascade,
a widget W receives keyboard events if an ancestor of W is in the active
subset of the modal cascade and one or more of the previous conditions is
When subtree or one of its descendants acquires the X input focus
or the pointer moves into the subtree such that keyboard events would
now be delivered to subtree, a
event is generated for the descendant if
events have been selected by the descendant.
Similarly, when W loses the X input focus
or the keyboard focus for one of its ancestors, a
event is generated for descendant if
events have been selected by the descendant.
