Synopsis would like api to prevent a component from taking focus
Category java:classes_awt
Reported Against 1.1
Release Fixed
State 11-Closed, duplicate of 4290675, request for enhancement
Priority: 4-Low
Related Bugs 4290675
Submit Date 25-NOV-1996
Description
 Would like an API call that would disable the focus ability of a component.
(i.e. setFocusAbility(boolean fability) )
Work Around
 
Evaluation
  [  xxxxx@xxxxx   1996-12-13]

Part of this is already fixed for 1.1 by aim (1261846):

> For JDK1.1 we have added the isFocusTraversable() method which enables
> a component to be setup to take the focus or not.

What is still missing from this request is the ability to turn focusability
on and off for an instance at runtime.

=====
Currently planning to implement this functionality, or equivalent
functionality, in the merlin focus enhancements.

What about "Accessability" issues?
In order to meet Accessability needs every
component needs to be able to get focus.
Therefore, "Accessability" needs a virtual Focus,
and the rest of us a Real Focus.
The "Accessability" classes would use the virtual
focus method and the rest of us can enable/disable
focus as needed, without ill effect.
