Hi,

I have an application, which has 3 controls

[button] [custom view] [button]

I’ve set the NextKeyView of each of them to the control to the right
[button] -> [custom view] -> [button]

And the tab and shift tab works between them as expected.

The situation gets more complicated because the custom view has 3 possible 
focus areas, which I also want to be part of the tab chain.
As it’s one big custom drawn widget, I’ve implemented a rudimentary tab handler 
in the KeyDown: method with a counter to keep track of which area is focused.
And it sort of works

But, I’m wondering how to know if the parent NSView gained keyboard focus 
through a tab or a shift-tab

If focus is on the first button, and you press Tab, the focus should go to the 
1st area of the custom view
If focus is on the last button and you Shift Tab from it, the focus should go 
to the 3rd area of the custom view
Currently, it always has to go to the area that was focused when the view lost 
focus.

Is there a way to do what I’m wanting?

thanks
iain
