<h3><a name="2.2.1">2.2.1 Focusing a Window</a></h3><a name="2.2.1"></a><br />
|
|
Windows can be in two states: <i>focused</i> , or <i>unfocused.</i> The focused window (also called the key or active
|
|
window) has a black titlebar and is the window that receives keyboard input, ie: where you can type text. Usually it's
|
|
the window where you work on. Only one window may be focused at a time. Unfocused windows have a light gray titlebar.
|
|
Some applications have a special type of window, called dialog windows transient windows or panels. When these windows
|
|
are active, the window that owns them (the main window) get a dark gray titlebar. As soon as the dialog window is
|
|
closed, the focus is returned to the owner window.<br />
|
|
<br />
|
|
<br />
|
|
The image below shows an active Open File panel and it's owner window.<br />

|
|
<br />
|
|
There are three styles of window focusing:<br />
|
|
<br />
|
|
<b>Click-to-Focus</b>,or manual focus mode. In click-to-focus mode, you explicitly choose the window that should be
|
|
focused. This is the default mode.<br />
|
|
<br />
|
|
<b>Focus-Follow-Mouse</b>,or auto-focus mode. In this mode, the focused window is chosen based on the position of the
|
|
mouse pointer. The window below the mouse pointer is always the focused window.<br />
|
|
<br />
|
|
<b>Sloppy-Focus</b>,or semi-auto-focus mode. This is similar to the focus-follow-mouse mode, but if you move the
|
|
pointer from a window to the root window, the window will not loose focus.<br />
|
|
<br />
|
|
You can choose between these modes with the <i>FocusMode</i> option<br />
|
|
<br />
|
|
<br />
|
|
<br />
|
|
<font face="Helvetica"><b>To focus a window in click-to-focus mode:</b></font>
|
|
|
|
<ul type="disc">
|

|
|
right mouse button.<br />

|

|
<br /></font></li>
|
|
|
|
<li><font face="Helvetica">Click on the titlebar with the middle mouse button. This will focus the window without

|
|
|
|
<li><font face="Helvetica">Open the window list menu and select the window to focus.</font></li>
|
|
</ul><br />
|
|
When you click in the client area of an inactive window to set the focus, the click is normally processed by the
|
|
application. If you find this behaviour a little confusing, you can make the application ignore this click by using the
|
|
<i>IgnoreFocusClick</i> option.<br />

Dialog/transient windows are always placed over their owner windows, unless the <i>OnTopTransients</i> option is
|
|
disabled. Some windows have a special attribute that allow them be permanently over normal windows. You can make
|
|
specific windows have this attribute use the <i>AlwaysOnTop</i> window option or set it in the Window Inspector
|
|
panel.<br />

<h3><a name="2.2.7">2.2.7 Closing a Window</a></h3><a name="2.2.7"></a> After finishing work in a window, you can close
|
|
it to completely get rid of it. When you close a window, it is removed from the screen and can no longer be restored.
|
|
So, before closing a window, be sure you have saved any work you were doing on it.<br />

Some windows will have a close button with some dots around it. These windows can't be closed normally and the only way
|
|
to get rid of them is by exiting the application. You should try exiting from inside the application (through it's
|
|
menus or buttons) when possible. Otherwise you can force WindowMaker to ``kill'' the application.<br />
