Description Moritz Hanke

2009-07-16 10:29:14 EDT

Build ID: 20090621-0832

Steps To Reproduce:
I want to jump with TraverseListener and setFocus() from one textfield to another. This is working in Firefox 3.5 but not in IE 8.

1. create three textfields
2. add TraverseListener on textfield one
3. in this TraverseListener jump to textfield three with setFocus()


More information:
t = new Text(top, SWT.NONE);
t.addTraverseListener(new TraverseListener() {

  public void keyTraversed(TraverseEvent e) {
    if (e.detail == SWT.TRAVERSE_TAB_NEXT) {
        t3.setFocus();
    }
  }
});
new Text(top, SWT.NONE);
t3 = new Text(top, SWT.NONE);

Regards

Moritz

Reproduced also in webkit-based browsers (Safari and Chrome).

Any plans when this gets fixed?

This will most likely not work in SWT either. Within the listener, the focus is set to "t3" and afterwards the default behavior of the tab key moves to focus to the next control.
Adding "e.doit = false;" to the if-clause solves the problem.
