fxruby users - May 2006 - ComboBox and setFocus - a liltle bug and its workaround

Hi,

*    FXcomboBox (FXListBox) doesn''t catch properly the focus (if the
list isn''t empty). If you strike the tab key, you got it.

    I tried something, not really tricky

    aComboId.children[0].setFocus()   # miracle !!!     that works

    children[0] is the texField object
    children[1] is the button object

    ..........

    It would be nice to have this two identifiers as Attributes ( with some
warnings) in the FXComboBox (FXListBox) widgets. No need  to declare a bug. For
me, it seems logical to have  comboBoxId.gettextFieldId().setFocus().

* I ''d like to set a selectAll() on this textField of the comboBox but
unfortunately, it''s a FXWindow class.
  
  I will be glad to have some clues

Thanks

G?rard M?nochet

I suppose you can file a feature request if this is something that 
you''d like to see added in a future release, but it sounds like
you''ve
already solved the problem since Ruby allows you to reopen classes to 
add methods to them:

	class FXComboBox
		def textField; children[0]; end
		def button; children[1]; end
	end

Until the bug for FXComboBox#children is corrected, see if you can use 
this as a workaround to get the text field:

	textField = comboBox.first

This refers to the same widget as comboBox.children[0], but it should 
come back with the correct type (FXTextField).
