Hi, I am trying to put the keyboard focus on a widget (or similar) inside a embedded window of a GtkSocket, but although I am using grab_focus on the GtkSocket and the plugin seems to be receiving the events (at least the socket-side window is not anymore) the widget or window does not have keyboard focus. E.g. in the case of a simple plug with a GtkEntry, the entry does not have cursor, or if I embed gvim the gvim cursor is not blinking/active. I have submitted a bug here: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=729248 I am using Gtk+ git. It turns out it is possible to give focus to the first widget by 'Tab'-ing into the embedded child, but it does not seem to be a way to do this programtically. The specific XEMBED signals that are required to be sent [0] can, as far as I can see, only be sent through the GtkSocket by the tab-handler. grab_focus() sends a XEMBED_FOCUS_IN message but with an XEMBED_FOCUS_CURRENT detail, by replacing ..._CURRENT with ...._FIRST the embedded child acts as if Tab has been pressed and the first widget gets focus. As you can see from the bug report I created a patch for Gtk where I can send the focus_forward and backward ( _FIRST and _LAST ) signals. When I use it the focus changes as expected. A small example based on gtkmm's socket and plug examples can be found here: https://github.com/gauteh/plug-socket-grab-focus/tree/focus_forward After some discussion on #gtk+ we've also discovered that the testsocket program appears to give focus to the plugin entry field, but the entry does not get any key events before it is clicked. If there is no other way of programatically changing the focus of the embedded plugin I would greatly appreciate either something like the patch I include in the bug report or some other way to control the focus from the socket-side. By the way, thanks for the helpful discussions on #gtk+.
