[Solved] GTK3 Keyboard

[AndyGable]

Hi Everyone,

I hope someone could help me

I have make a small application to test why I can not key any keyboard input on a form with in a workspace

I have discovered the Main Form (FMain) is still holding onto the keyboard

in QT the keyboard input is on the form that is showing in the Workspace

So does anyone know how I can get the Form in the workspace to have the keyboard and NOT the FMain

What should happen is when the app starts you will see in the workspace FrmSignedOff and when you Press A the Form Signed on should show
and when you press B the form FrmSignedOn should close and you will return to FrmSignedOff

Anyone who could help me with this I would be most grateful.

update on this issuse

IF i put a textbox on the frmSignedOff and when the screen is loaded I click inside the textbox the form gets focus and the keyboard
works

sooo how do I make the frm get focus

I have tried

Public Sub Form_Open()
  Me.SetFocus
End

but that is not working i have even tired when I load the form at the beginning (with in FMain)

Public Sub Form_Open()
  FMain.Workspace1.Add(frmSignedOff, 0)
  frmSignedOff.SetFocus
End

any recommendations I am open to all idea's

maybe you can simply send the logoff form the keypress in FMain_KeyPress.

FMain.class

Public Sub Form_Open()

  FMain.Workspace1.Add(frmSignedOff, 0)

End

Public Sub Form_KeyPress()

  Select Case Key.Code
    Case 65 'Key A
      Me.Text = "Key being captured by FMain"
      frmSignedOff.Form_KeyPress   ' run  frmSignedoff KeyPress event
  End Select

End

you may want to add handling if the application can use either qt or gtk (gb.gui) as they behave differently (as you have found)

Public Sub Form_KeyPress()

  Select Case Key.Code
    Case 65 'Key A
      Me.Text = "Key being captured by FMain"
     If Env["GB_GUI"] Like "gb.gtk*" Then frmSignedOff.Form_KeyPress   ' run  frmSignedoff KeyPress event only if using gtk
  End Select

End

That's works perfectly

I've moved to GTK3 as that does seem to be giving me any issues (unlike qt5)
