[Pythoncard-users] Missing Functionality?

I can't seem to find a reference to this anywhere, but am willing to 
have my ignorance admonished.

Anyway, I'm trying to set the application focus in response to an event. 
In particular, when the user presses a button in my application I would 
like to lead them by the hand and place the cursor in another widget.

For future use I'm thinking we would want to be able to change the 
application focus between different windows, regions, etc.

If this is easy to do then feel free to send me a one line reply, 
alternatively I can raise this as a project issue at SF. I just thought 
I would share my question with the list before taking that step.

Whilst I'm at it, we may want another attribute for each widget that 
indicates its tab order. It is sometimes useful to vary the navigation 
path between fields depending on various rules. Also, it may be 
necessary to specify widgets in a certain order in the resource file but 
have the default tab order through them to be different.

I know this is all irrelevant if you use the mouse to navigate to a 
specific widget, but in the kind of applications which I sometimes write 
(data entry for databases) where speed of input is optimum the default 
user behaviour is to use the tab key to navigate between elements so 
that you don't have to take your hand away from the keyboard at any time.

Andy
