Hi all,
This should be a simple question, but I've got completely stuck on it.
My software goes through a question and answer session, with the user
having to enter some text into a box, then press Enter to continue.
However, all of the methods I have tried require the mouse pointer to be
in the text input box in order for that box to have the focus. At
first I didn't notice this since I am used to both Squeak and various
Un*x environments with this sort of focus, but it drove the students I
was testing the software on completely batty - they were always clicking
in the text field, then moving then mouse away, then typing into thin
air.
How can I get a simple text entry box in Morphic that grabs and
maintains focus even when the mouse leaves?
Any help would be greatfully received, as I can't work out how to do
this!
Frustratedly,
Russell
