"Safe", non-focus stealing GUIControls?

I've been using this to ensure that a GUIControl will never steal key input, but it still does?

PHP Code:


		
			
profile.cankeyfocus = false;

I still need to be able to interact with it through mouse input, and setting

PHP Code:


		
			
profile.modal = false;

removes the ability to use the GUIControl via mouse, but remedies the key input problem. Can anybody help me out here?

GraalControl.makeFirstResponder(true); after initializing the GUIs

PHP Code:


		
			
function onFirstResponderChanges(obj)
{
  if (obj.objecttype() in { "GuiButtonCtrl", "GuiBitmapButtonCtrl" })
    GraalControl.makefirstresponder(true);
  
  //player.addMessage("New first responder:" SPC obj SPC "(" @ obj.objecttype() @ ")");
}

Only an example, but hey it works.

profile.modal = false;
profile.cankeyfocus = false;
profile.focusonshow = false;
profile.tab = false;

PHP Code:


		
			
temp.lastFocus = GraalControl;
for (c : GraalControl.controls) {
  if (c.isFirstResponder()) {
    temp.lastFocus = c;
    break;
  }
}

//Create GUIControl

temp.lastFocus.makeFirstResponder(true);

I figured that would be a better way. Is that more reliable (i.e. works with chatbar and other GUIControls), or can more than one object return true from isFirstResponder()?

That would only check the first children of GraalControl, so, for example, a button inside a window would not be checked.

If it's absolutely necessary, I'd do something like this.

PHP Code:


		
			
function onFirstResponderChanges(temp.obj) {

  if (temp.obj.dontStealFocus) {

    this.lastResponder.makeFirstResponder(true);

  } else {

    this.lastResponder = temp.obj;

  }

}

Then you could just set dontStealFocus on any GUI control and it wouldn't steal focus.

Sounds perfectly ideal, thanks for the suggestion mate.

From what I've tested this only seems to work when you have no keys pressed down at the time the GUI is created. If you're holding down an arrow key for example focus will still be stolen.
