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.

Re: GTK3 Keyboard
maybe you can simply send the logoff form the keypress in FMain_KeyPress.
FMain.class
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)
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

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
If at first you don't succeed , try doing something differently.

Re: GTK3 Keyboard
That's works perfectly
I've moved to GTK3 as that does seem to be giving me any issues (unlike qt5)
