focus-on-click

Generic Function

Package: common-graphics

Arguments: tab-control

Returns the value of the focus-on-click property of tab-control. This property determines whether a tab-control will receive the keyboard focus when it is clicked.

The value can be tnil. If it is t, the tab-control control will have the keyboard focus when users click on it. This allows selecting different tabs using the arrow keys. The focus moves back off the tab-control when users click on some other object on the dialog.

If the value is nil, the keyboard focus will not move from wherever it just was when users click on the tab-control.

The focus-on-click property may not be changed on an existing control, and must instead be specified with the inspector when designing a control (using a form) or with the :focus-on-click initarg of make-instance. (It can be changed using the inspector when designing a form but not for a running control, either in the IDE or in an application.)

focus-on-click is a property of the tab-control class.
