Losing focus on editable combobox
Hi everyone!
I have created a combobox and setEditable is set to true but it does not react to the focus lost method.But when the setEditable is set to false then the focus lost method is executed. According to the following Sun Developer sites(http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6433257,
http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=4628933) this is some kind of bug.
Is there no way that I can have an editable combobox that reacts to the focus lost method I mean that loses focus?
When you have an editable combo box the editor has focus, not the combox box. So I guess you would need to add the FocusListener to the editor itself and not the combo box directly.

Set border color of editable ComboBox on focus
What I want to do, is set BorderBrush of editable ComboBox. I'm using slightly modified default WPF templates. They are structured like below:
<ControlTemplate x:Key="ComboBoxEditableTemplate" TargetType="{x:Type ComboBox}">
<Grid x:Name="templateRoot" ...>
<ToggleButton x:Name="toggleButton" ... />
<Border x:Name="border" ...>
<TextBox x:Name="PART_EditableTextBox" ... />
<!-- textbox with IsFocused property which should be focus trigger -->
</Border>
</Grid>
</ControlTemplate>
ToggleButton template:
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type ToggleButton}">
<Border x:Name="templateRoot" ...> <!-- first border brush I want to set on focus -->
<Border x:Name="innerBorder" ...> <!-- second border brush I want to set on focus -->
<Border x:Name="splitBorder" ...>
<Path x:Name="arrow" ... />
</Border>
</Border>
</Border>
</ControlTemplate>
And now, what should happen.
When PART_EditableTextBox.IsFocused is equal to true then set
templateRoot.BorderBrush and innerBorder.BorderBrush to another color (for example red and blue).
It would be very simple if there was only one BorderBrush to set, because I could use
TemplateBinding to bind this property to ToggleButton element.
For me, the problem are nested templates. I don't know how to refer to inside of another template.
I hope you can help me.
It would be very good if I didn't need to use C# code, just XAML.>>I don't know how to refer to inside of another template.
You cannot. But since the PART_EditableTextBox is part of the ControlTemplate of the ComboBox you could add the trigger to this control template and then for example set the BorderBrush property and the Background propery of the ToggleButton and bind these
to the BorderBrush properties of the Borders in its ControlTemplate:
<ControlTemplate x:Key="ComboBoxEditableTemplate" TargetType="{x:Type ComboBox}">
<TextBox x:Name="PART_EditableTextBox" ... />
<ToggleButton x:Name="toggleButton" ... />
<ControlTemplate.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsFocused" Value="True" SourceName="PART_EditableTextBox">
<Setter Property="BorderBrush" TargetName="toggleButton" Value="Red"/>
<Setter Property="Background" TargetName="toggleButton" Value="Blue" />
</Trigger>
</ControlTemplate.Triggers>
<Style x:Key="ComboBoxToggleButton" TargetType="{x:Type ToggleButton}">
<Setter Property="OverridesDefaultStyle" Value="true"/>
<Setter Property="IsTabStop" Value="false"/>
<Setter Property="Focusable" Value="false"/>
<Setter Property="ClickMode" Value="Press"/>
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type ToggleButton}">
<Border x:Name="templateRoot" BorderBrush="{TemplateBinding BorderBrush}" BorderThickness="2">
<Border x:Name="innerBorder" BorderBrush="{TemplateBinding Background}" BorderThickness="2">
<Border x:Name="splitBorder">
<Path x:Name="Arrow" Data="{StaticResource DownArrowGeometry}"
Fill="Black" HorizontalAlignment="Center" Margin="0,1,0,0" VerticalAlignment="Center"/>
</Border>
</Border>
</Border>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
If you don't want to use the Background property for this, the other option is to create your own custom class that derives from the ToggleButton class and add a dependency property called "InnerBackground" or something to this class and replace
the ToggleButton with your custom ToggleButton and replace the binding to the Background property with a binding to the new dependency property and set this one in the control template for the ComboBox.
Hope that helps.

1. addKeyListener(..) not working onto editable combobox.
2. how to scroll the editable combobox when user types into it?
(in case of solving 1st problem, this one is solved too). Maybe there are special methods??
Thank you very much.
Boris.1) you need to add the listener to the editor of the combobox, no the combobox itself.
2) scroll? I thought it already does an auto select if there is a value in the list which starts with what's typed. -

Hi all,
I was wondering if it were at all possible for a JFrame or JWindow to listen for an event when the window is about to lose focus - ie it is losing focus (as opposed to lost focus).
WindowEvent and the subsequent WindowFocusListener interface only caters for handling a window having already lost or gained focus, however I need to make things happen before the window actually loses its focus.
Can anyone help?
Regards,
Andrew.Hi Andrew,
I don't know a possibility to get an event like you want to have - and I do think such an eevnt does not exist.
But I do think you really wouldn't need such a possibility. Perhaps you can give a short explanation why you need this possibility. If the problem is to regain the focus there is a post from me a few minutes ago (I'm sorry about not knowing how to reference to other posts but I hope since years I will learn such things). If you have other problems please explain the problem - perhaps there is another way of solving it.

Changing the font of a non-editable ComboBox
Hello everyone,
I need a small combobox. So I set a font of a specific size to the combo's

I have a Mac set as an FTP server at a second location for backing up. My server at my first location will start backing up, completing some files. After a while, the network light on the modem at location 2 will stop blinking (indicating no traffic). The message from my backup software is "(FTP: server disconnected or timed out)". I can browse the web with no problems when this is happening. Is my Airport Extreme just losing focus?
Also, pod casts will not down load to same FTP server. I'll get anywhere from 1/8 to 1/2 of a pod cast before the network traffic light stops blinking.
Help! Boss is getting nervous. Thanks.Thanks JJMack. I was hoping it wasn't the card I was using. This is the first time I've used a geforce card on my work PC. However it's not the first time I've used them with Adobe's apps. For years my personal PCs had them and usually without issues like this. We chose to attempt to use this new Geforce GTX980 card because of how much further advanced it is over midrange Quadro cards at the moment, and because of some of the other software I am using that is more viewport and video ram dependent. Adobe applications are still my mainstay but we couldn't justify the purchase of older technology midrange K4000 cards that were supposedly newer than my older 4000. As these still had older PCI connections than the HP workstations we built, among other tech such as cuda core amounts that are drastically behind the times. Jumping up to 6000 level Quadro cards for up to date technology just isn't in the budget as the prices are astronomical. As with the Titan cards cards that are high priced and yet older tech. So we made the decision to try the GTX card for a while. Right now this sporadic window focus issue seems to be the only new issue I've run into so far. I'm sure I will see more in the near future doing something if the card is the issue. Maybe the new types of hardware being used such as the PCI express hard drive, or very recent photoshop updates can be blamed. Just not figuring it out just yet.
I was informed by an IT professional here that has application creation experience that this truly seemed like an application problem more than a graphic card problem. But until someone can corroborate that thought I guess I'm going to keep blaming the newer GTX card or wait to see if an App update makes this go away quietly. No one else has chimed in yet. Thanks for the link. -
How to exit edit mode (editable comboBox)?
I have an editable comboBox. When a user clicks on the text
area, he can rename the text and the idea is to click outside the
comboBox to commit the new value.
The problem now is when the user clicks outside the comboBox,
the comboBox remains in edit mode(with the blinking prompt). How do
I make it get out of that mode?
thanks in advanceHi,
setting comBox.editable=false in the function where you
commit the vaules will solve this purpose.
Also remember to set it in edit mode when click event on the
combobox happens
Ex.
<mx:ComboBox id="comBox" click="setMode()"/>
public function setMode():void{
comBox.editable=true;
I hope I have given you a direction to think upon.
Take care -
I have created a application using combobox wherein the
combobox loads the names of the persons from an XML file. I have
created the application using XMLConnector component without
writing a single line of ActionScript code.
The editable property of the combobox is set to true. I would
like the combobox to display the person's names when the user types
the name directly in the editable combobox.
For Example: The combobox contains names like Alfred, John,
Sandy etc
If user types 'J' or 'Jo' the combobox shoud open up and
select the names starting with J.Use s:DropDownList instead.

Editable ComboBox focus problem
Hi,
I have created a ComboBox with editable property set to true.
The problem is ... when the focus is on the ComboBox.... if I click somewhere outside, the focus still remains in the ComboBox.
Only tabbing out or shifting the focus to some other component, removes the focus from ComboBox.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance !!That should be true for any Flex component. Focus is always on something, you have to move it to a new place otherwise it gets restored back to what last had foucs.

JTable custom cell editor losing focus
This is a followup to Re: Tutorial on AWT/Swing control flow wherein I ask for pointers to help me understand the source of focus-loss behaviour in my JTable's custom cell editor.
I have done some more investigations and it turns out that the focus loss is a more general problem with custom cell editors which call other windows. Even the color-picker demo in the JTable tutorial at http://download.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/examples/components/index.html#TableDialogEditDemo has this problem, IF you add a text field or two to the layout BEFORE the table. The only reason the table in the demo doesn't lose the focus when the color-picker comes out is because the table is the only thing in the window!
Here is the demo code, augmented with two text fields, which are admittedly ugly here but which serve the desired purpose:

}When you come back from choosing a color, tf1 is given the focus, instead of the table. This is because bringing the color picker window to the front causes a focus lost event for the cell editor component; it's temporary, as it should be, so why on earth is the system losing track of who has focus in the window??
I see the following in Window#getMostRecentFocusOwner():
public Component getMostRecentFocusOwner()
if (isFocused())
return getFocusOwner();
else
Component mostRecent =
KeyboardFocusManager.getMostRecentFocusOwner(this);
if (mostRecent != null)
return mostRecent;
else
return (isFocusableWindow())
? getFocusTraversalPolicy().getInitialComponent(this)
: null;
}My app has a custom focus traversal policy, so I'm able to see who is being called, and indeed, getInitialComponent() is being called. Clearly, the KeyboardFocusManager is actually losing track of the fact that the table was focussed at the point where control was transferred to the color picker! This strikes me as completely unreasonable, especially since, as noted, this is a temporary focus loss event, not a permanent one.
I'd be grateful for any wisdom in solving this, since similar behaviour to this little demo -- without focus loss, naturally -- is an essential part of my application.Looks like it is because the 'restore-focus-to-previous-after-modal-dialog-close' is in a later event than when the control returns to the action performed (which I guess makes sense: it continues the action event handler and the focus events are handled later, but I needed two chained invoke laters so it might also be that the OS events comes later).
The following works for me (in the actionPerformed edited):
// create the dialog here so it is correctly parented
// (otherwise sometimes OK button not correctly the default button)
dialog = JColorChooser.createDialog(button, "Pick a Color", true, //modal
colorChooser, this, //OK button handler
null); //no CANCEL button handler
//The user has clicked the cell, so bring up the dialog.
button.setBackground(currentColor);
colorChooser.setColor(currentColor);
button.addFocusListener(new FocusListener() {
@Override
public void focusLost(FocusEvent e) {}
@Override
public void focusGained(FocusEvent e) {
// dialog closed and focus restored
button.removeFocusListener(this);
fireEditingStopped();
dialog.setVisible(true);but a simpler request might be better (althoug I still need an invoke later):
// rest as before except the FocusListener
dialog.setVisible(true);
button.requestFocusInWindow();
EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
fireEditingStopped();
});And a quick fix to the renderer so you can actualy see the focus on it:
if(hasFocus) {
Border border = DefaultLookup.getBorder(this, ui, "Table.focusCellHighlightBorder");
setBorder(BorderFactory.createCompoundBorder(
border, BorderFactory.createMatteBorder(1, 4, 1, 4,
((MatteBorder) getBorder()).getMatteColor())));

Metadata fields lose focus mid edit
This one could get me ranting, I am looking at about 500 images all needing iptc fields created individually, that is a bit of keyboard work.
So I select the field and begin typing, look down to my notebook to find the edit has gone, the field reverted to it's previous state. This happens too frequently, on occasion it has dropped focus and then changed module to develop!
There are other threads that touch on this subject, it is one of those intermittent issues the developers get stuck understanding. Please invest the time and find a solution that is both simple and safe.
Cheers
VictorI'm glad other folks are seeing this problem and it isn't just me.
I'll try the suggestion from above about pausing between fields and see if that helps.
I'll watch and try to see if it only happens after I had just edited one field and am working on the next. Also, I believe it has happened when I was working on a single image rather than a group.
The problem is not "just" losing what has been typed. The problem is also finding that you are sending keyboard commands to Lightroom itself. e.g. if your next character to type is 'n', you switch from grid to survey view. I once did a 'd' followed by a 'v', and my images were changed to greyscale. That scares me a little. I wonder if there is a combination I could be typing that would actually delete photos that haven't been backed up yet?
My system is a MAC OS X 10.4.8 with 768 MB of RAM. I wonder if the problem could have anything to do with being at the edge of the "System Requirements"?
