[pygtk] Fwd: Re: Setting focus to a textEntry

[Olaf Devik]

The critical line was:

b.connect('clicked', lambda w: e.grab_focus())

I entered the button, the textEntry and the main already defined, now 
the cursor shows up in the right place. Apparently I had misunderstood 
the grab_focus.

Thanks for assistance and help.

What exactly are you doing? A later signal handler might revert the effects of your call. However this works for me:

import gtk

e = gtk.Entry()

b = gtk.Button("Save")
b.connect('clicked', lambda w: e.grab_focus())

c = gtk.VBox()
c.pack_start(e)
c.pack_end(b)

w = gtk.Window()
w.add(c)
w.connect('delete-event', gtk.main_quit)
w.show_all()

gtk.main()
