wxWebView::SetPage() without losing focus

[saifcoder]

I'm working on a WYSIWYG (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WYSIWYG) project, I'm trying to show the result immediately after any change happened to wxTextCtrl, the problem is when I update the wxWebView by SetPage(), cursor focus set automatically to the wxWebView, so user need to click again on wxTextCtrl to make new change!

Code: Select all

MyWebView->SetPage(MyTextCtrl->GetValue(), "");

Question: How to use wxWebView::SetPage() without cursor focus?

[saifcoder]

I fixed it by MyTextCtrl->Setfocus(), but is this is the best solution? I mean Setfocus() after every char added (OnKeyDown) ?

[saifcoder]

Ops, when user Click on Webview, then back to code editor (STC) the Setfocus() stop working!

Anyone have an idea how to use MyWebView->SetPage() without losing focus ?

[saifcoder]

I search a way to get the event when wxWebview is focused, selected, left click.. to set back the focus to the code editor.

any idea ?

Soon after updating wxWebView you need to call setFocus to your wxSTC
If that doesn't work try wxStyledTextCtrl::SetSTCFocus

Yes it's work, but when user just click on the wxWebView so no update event created and the focus still on the wxWebView!

try wxStyledTextCtrl::SetSTCFocus

I don't know what this function do, but I use SetSTCFocus(true) everywhere! and the focus still on the webview!

I searching how to show the Webview and set it not clickable like mywxWebview->SetEditable(false) but no effect!

Is there any way to create an transparent object (like toSizer) on the top of the window and it hold full form to block any click on the webview !!

If wxWebView is the only thing that eats the focus then all you need is catch the focus received event for wxWebview object, swnd it back to wxStc same as you do now and skip the event. That way, every time wxWV receives a focus it focuses wxStc

Yes, but I didn't find focus event for the wxWebview in the documentation! is there one?

maybe this is the problem: IProtectFocus interface https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/previo ... dfrom=MSDN

wxWebView inherits from wxControl which in turn inherits from wxWindow (shown in docs inheritance tree). So you have wxEVT_SET_FOCUS. See documentation at https://docs.wxwidgets.org/3.0/classwx_window.html
