Focusing on TabNavigator tab
Hi,
I am creating a few tabs in (Super)TabNavigator.
How can I put a focus on one of them?
Tried a few things, but it didn't work...
Please help!

Thank you,
Oleg.

Re: Focusing on TabNavigator tab

setFocus() is about what component will get keyboard input. I think you
are using "tab" to mean a TabNavigator child which is a container which
never gets focus. Only some control like a TextInput or Button or ADG
gets focus
If you want an ADG in a new Tabnavigator child to get focus, you should
probably first call validateNow() after addChild(), set selectedIndex to
the new tab, call validateNow() again, then call adg.setFocus()

Re: Focusing on TabNavigator tab
Posted by Oleg Konovalov <ol...@gmail.com>.
I am on one tab. Get data, it creates another tab. I want a new tab to
get focus, so user can see new data.
Tab is a Box with ADG.
Gets created by
dataTabs.addChild(tab)
I tried to do tab.setFocus ()
and many other things.
Still not setting focus on that tab.
Using Flex 4.5.1

Re: Focusing on TabNavigator tab

I'm not sure I understand the problem. A "tab" is a button-like thing
along the top of a TabNavigator. It never truly gets focus. The
TabNavigator gets focus and arrow keys can be used to switch tabs.
A TabNavigator's children are containers, and the containers never get
focus. Only their children do.
It might be best to provide a 20-line MXML test case that shows what you
want to accomplish.

I do
dataTabs.addChild(tab).
After that how can I do selectedIndex on that tab?

Re: Focusing on TabNavigator tab

I have tried to
1) Google on that subject - could not find anything useful.
2) FocusEnabled = true - did nothing
3) play with FocusManager - did nothing
Will see if SelectedIndex will work.
Could you please give a context about it?
TIA,
Oleg.

What have you tried?
Have you set selectedIndex (zero-based)?
