Assume you have a Form with ten Buttons on it, with the first one having the focus, so that it can be clicked by hitting the Enter key on the keyboard. Now, you can set the focus to the next button simply by pressing the Down arrow key. This works out of the box.
Then I constrain this functionality to the first three Buttons on the Form.
So, when the third Button on the Form has the focus and I press the Down arrow key, the first Button - instead of the forth button - should receive the focus.
Question:
how can I change the focus to another button outside the Panel with arrow key?

I have multiple buttons in a Panel. I want to hide the Panel on mouse leave of the panel, or buttons.
The problem is that when my cursor hovers on one button and hovers again on another button, the panel that holds the button will hide because I have panel.hide() code on each mouse_Leave event in the button and on the panel. I want to hide it when the cursor leaves the panel or the button.
It sounds like you basically want the panel hidden at all times unless the cursor is over it, and when the cursor isn't the panel hides again?
You could try keeping the panel hidden by default so it's always that way unless the mouse enter's over it, then it shows. That way, when the mouse leaves the panel again it'll automatically hide.
I have a small application written in Objective-C that demonstrates a "default Key Equivalent" that I have not been able to remove. The application has two buttons:
Button1 that on press sets the text label to "Button 1 pressed"
Button2 that on press sets the text label to "Button 2 pressed"
That all works, however, when I press the space bar, button 1 is pressed: highlight, depress, signal sent to the handler. Now, in this example, there is a focus ring, and the tab key changes the focus from button to button, and then the space bar is equivalent to a mouse click. (In my original application there are no focus rings so this was harder to see).
Now I know that this makes sense in the general case of the buttons with focus rings, and application windows with tab to select next control. But what can be done if we want to have only move the mouse to focus? And thus ignore space bar presses? Should I create an NSResponder to consume these key presses?
I have working on implementing sign up screen, and there are three input fields and custom gender selection buttons below them. Now when first field becomes first responder then "Next" button is shown in the right bottom keyboard. Pressing "Next" moves to the second field, and the pressing it again moves to the third field and shows "Done".
I need to override and show "Next" instead "Done", so that a user could press it, I would close keyboard and scroll the screen a little bit so he would see he needs to select gender. Just trying to figure out what causes to show "Done" on last textField.
Try this one :
[textField setReturnKeyType:UIReturnKeyDone];
I have a simple Mac app with a window. In this window, I have two NSTextfields and one NSButton.
When the window appears, the first NSTextfield has the focus. I press enter and the focus passes to the second NSTextfield. I press enter again and the focus passes to my button.
[myWindow makeFirstResponder:myButton];
This works fine but now when I press enter again, I expect that the button is clicked, but it does not happen.
On a Mac, spacebar is what you press to select a button. This is the same for a selecting the value of a dropdown, radio button, or check button.
I wanna determine which key was pressed when im viewing a certain form. The problem is that if i want to check which key was pressed when im binding the "keypressed" event to the form, it won't show me which one was pressed if my focus is currently set to lets say, a textbox, or a label, or a panel and so on.
Any way to do that even if the focus is currently set to a Panel, i can still determine which key was pressed? thanks!
