[OSX] wxButton::SetFocus() not actually setting focus in dialogs

[tessman]

I just wanted to check to make sure this behaviour is consistent for others before delving further into it/reporting it as a bug.

In, for instance, samples/dialogs, if you change the button being SetDefault() in any of the example dialogs, such as MyModalDialog from:

Code: Select all

    m_btnModal->SetFocus();
    m_btnModal->SetDefault();

to

Code: Select all

    m_btnModeless->SetFocus();
    m_btnModeless->SetDefault();

The "Modeless" button gets set as default (coloured blue) but the "Modal" button still has the focus.

It seems to always give focus to the first-added control. If switch the Add() calls around so that the modeless button is added first, it will have the focus. The same seems to apply for any other dialog with a text control added first, etc.: the first-added control gets the focus regardless of SetFocus().

It well works for me on OS X 10.9 Mavericks, changing the code as you shown in the wxWidgets 3.1.0's dialogs sample. The modeless button has focus and appears as being the default.

Hi,
Which OSX version did you try?
Which wx version do you use?
What is the minimal version you set when you configured the build?
Do you have access to a different OSX version (for testing)?

Thank you.

In particular this is on 10.12.6 using a pull from master.

Note that this is with System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts > All controls checked, which you need in order to set keyboard focus to any control (as opposed to just text boxes and lists).
