Hi, I've been banging my head against the wall for some time now on this problem: I have a widget that is derived from a GtkEntry. The derived widget basically does some additional validation checks during text entry, nothing more really. If you like to see the complete code, you can browse it here: http://svn.gnucash.org/trac/browser/gnucash/trunk/src/gnome-utils/gnc-amount- edit.c I am now having problems to set the focus on this widget programmatically. In this particular use case, the widget is added to a GtkAssistant, and during the prepare of the page showing this widget, I call a gtk_widget_grab_focus on it. This does nothing. If I do the same with a plain GtkEntry on the same assistant page in the same prepare callback, this entry does get the focus. So I assume my custom widget is not handling things properly. Based on another thread I found on this list [1] I then tried adding connect a callback to the focus-in-event signal in gnc_amount_edit_init like so: g_signal_connect (G_OBJECT (gae), "focus-in-event", G_CALLBACK (gnc_amount_edit_focus_in), NULL); And the callback function simply call gtk_widget_grab_focus on the internal GtkEntry widget: static gboolean gnc_amount_edit_focus_in (GNCAmountEdit *gae, GdkEvent *event, gpointer data) { gtk_widget_grab_focus (GTK_WIDGET(&gae->entry)); return FALSE; } Stepping through the code in a debugger shows me that the callback is really called, but it still doesn't set the focus. I am sure I'm missing something, but I don't see it. Any hints ? Geert [1] http://www.mail-archive.com/gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx/msg02478.html -- Kobalt W.I.T.
