[pygtk] grab_focus of entry inside treeview cursor-changed signal function

[alex goretoy]

 at first Is started writing this in pygtk-web thinking it was the right
list, I guess I wasn't subscribed, now i am, i thought i was ;/ so sorry for
reposting, please see below;


I have an application I'm working on called courtesyflush; it's in
launchpad.

what I am trying to do is grab_focus of a entry after selection of an item
in the treeview and it seems to not be working. do I have to ungrab focus or
something from the treeview before I do grab_focus() on the entry? I am
trying to grab_focus of an entry inside the treeview selected signal
function.

also i noticed that if I make the treeview searchable sometime it works and
sometimes it doesn't, I don't know how to duplicate it or anything.
I don't want the treeview to be searchable because the search feature
doesn't work as I'd like it to.

any and all help in this matter is greatly appreciated, thank you.

ok so i was able to duplicate it. what happens is if i select an item in the
treeview it doesn't grab_focus as expected. but if i enter a character on
the keyboard and it brings up the search for the treeview i delete the
entered character and then enter a character that would be  found in the
search it starts to make the grab_focus work as expected

so to recap:
select and item in treeview, then press the letter a if no item in the
treeview starts with a since it would jump to the item otherwise, then
delete the letter a in he search that popped up and place an letter that
would be found as the begining character in the treeview and makes the
grab_focus to the entry work as expected

is this a bug? or am i missing something?


if you guys need code please let me know, i just figure you're all more
experienced than i am and are gonna know what i'm talking about before i
finish the sentence

thank you in advance for any help in this matter,
