Title Changing Focus
Ref. No. QNX.000005917
Category(ies) Development
Issue I have a Photon 1.13 application running on my QNX4 machine.  It operates in the following manner:

Opens window A, which opens window B, which opens window C


I would like focus to be given to a list box in window A from window C.  Is this possible?  And how?


Solution To give focus to the list box in Window A, from Window C call PtForwardWindowEvent (Abw 1) from Window C.  Then have the list box in Window A call PtContainerGiveFocus().

Explanations and examples for PtForwardWindowEvent and PtContainerGiveFocus()
can be found in the online Helpviewer or in the
Photon microGUI Library Reference.
