I am using XRaiseWindow and XSetInputFocus to raise an existing
'Fileview - Task Output' window and give it focus. Some text is output
to this window and some input is solicited. This is required by some
code that writes to sys$output. This seems to work nicely except that
the pointer has to be over the window in order to input from the
keyboard. When the pointer is moved out of the window, input is no
longer accepted. If MB1 is pressed, even though the window already has
focus, you can then move the pointer anywhere on the screen, and the
window still accepts input from the keyboard. Can someone explain this
behavior, and suggest what I can do to make the window behave as if MB1
were pressed (without pressing it of course).

Check to make sure that you are using a valid "time" in your call to XSetInputFocus (try using CurrentTime, for example, to see if it makes any difference). It sounds as if your application really doesn't have input focus, nor does any other application. Leo | |||||
| 1310.2 | I tried using CurrentTime | KAOT01::K_BURECHAILO | Mon Aug 21 1989 14:00 | 15 | |
I am using CurrentTime. Here is the code fragment that does the
job. The call to XWarpPointer is in here to work around the problem
of having to move the pointer over the window. The title bar in
the Task Output window changes after the call to XSetInputFocus,
so it looks like the window receives focus.
if (windowAttributes.map_state != IsUnmapped){
XRaiseWindow(display,taskWindow);
if (XWarpPointer (display, None, root, 0, 0, 0, 0,500,500) != Success)
printf("bad call to warp pointer\n");
XSetInputFocus(display,taskWindow,RevertToPointerRoot,CurrentTime);
XFlush(display);
}
