[Gambas-user] How can a self made Button UserControl receive the Focus?

[Claus Dietrich]

Dear Gianluigi

Many thanks for the project. These square buttons also don't receive the 
focus

but this can be resolved by setting the focus-property to True. However, 
the

square buttons are not prepared to display a focus.


Dear Lee

I had no issue at all to load the program and it behaves as expected.


Dear Benoít

Thanks for the valuable hints. The focus-reception works already. I still

need to learn, what the Style-Class can provide and I have to read the

recommended switch button documentation because there are still

some open questions about self made user controls.

Best regards

Claus
