Thanks for the (fast) reply Matthias ! Well I didn't find FileBrowser complex or anything, not at all. I was just confused about the chosen file string, and I simply ignored the fact that it's items are in fact widgets (the Browser::add() method should have ringed a bell..). Anyway it looks like it's this method: Widget * Browser::goto_focus();. Thanks for ringing the bell in my head :) _______________________________________________ fltk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.easysw.com/mailman/listinfo/fltk
