Re: [Gambas-user] Switching between forms in tabstrip
Dimitris, thanks for the tip. I can get the Keypress event from the form and get the combination for Ctrl + Tab. However, since I have a Workspace, I don't know how to access the Tabstrip control or how to index the forms in it. Any thoughts?

Re: [Gambas-user] Switching between forms in tabstrip
After reading Benoît 's guidelines and going through my previous example I came up with this. PUBLIC SUB Form_KeyPress() IF Key.Control SELECT CASE Workspace1.Children.Find(Workspace1.ActiveWindow) CASE 0 TO Workspace1.Children.Count - 2 Workspace1.ActiveWindow = Workspace1.Children[Workspace1.Children.Find(Workspace1.ActiveWindow) + 1] CASE Workspace1.Children.Count - 1 Workspace1.ActiveWindow = Workspace1.Children[0] CASE ELSE END SELECT ENDIF END Add this to the code of the form that has the workspace it should have the desired effect. Hopefully this will bring you closer to what you want to do. Regards Dimitris On Thu, Feb 26, 2009 at 6:20 AM, Benoît Minisini gam...@users.sourceforge.net wrote: Dimitris, thanks for the tip.

Re: [Gambas-user] Switching between forms in tabstrip
@jacky-12 I understand that but that is not what I need. Let me see if I can explain it better. I have a workspace and add several forms to it. In each for i have different controls as textboxes, buttons, gridviews, etc. The thing is that I want to be able to switch between forms with some key combination (i.e. Ctrl + Tab) but the keypress event depends on the control that has the focus and not on the tabstrip or the workspace. So how can I get the keypress regardless the control or object that has the focus. Is there another way of doing this? Thanks.

On Gambas, the only way to do it is creating an hidden menu with one menu item for each action, each item having a shortcut.

So how can I get the keypress regardless the control or object that has the focus. Is there another way of doing this? I had the same problem some time ago. The ultimate response is, you can't. To do that, it would be needed a KeyPreview property of the form, which lets the form intercept all the keypresses before they arrive to its controls, perhaps even before they reach the Menu. I managed this situation by using a Menu item, and setting its shortcut. In the event handler of that menu, you can do whatever you want. This menu should be hidden, but it was reported that hidden Menus don't trigger events... but for me it worked (the shortcut was Enter!) - may be there are differences from GTK or QT.

Re: [Gambas-user] Switching between forms in tabstrip
If I may add my 2 cents worth, if you just use the form_keypress event you might be able to do what you want. this is my attempt; tbsettings is my tabstrip control I have 4 tabs (with index 0 to 3) add this to the form that you have the tabstrip onto PUBLIC SUB Form_KeyPress() IF Key.Control THEN SELECT CASE tbSettings.Index CASE 0 TO 2 INC tbSettings.Index CASE 3 tbSettings.index = 0 CASE ELSE END SELECT END IF END this would result in moving to the next tab when you just press the control key I haven't been able to make it to work with a combination of keys but in Gambas 2.10 it works no matter what control has the focus I only have one tabstrip control on my GUI so I am not sure if this solution would work on multiple tabstrips or other layouts Hope it helps and it's close to what you wanna do.

I think that what Benoit and Doriano suggested are in the way of what I need. Doriano, the layout of what I have is the following: * a main form * a workspace * several forms added to the workspace by .add method Where should I add the menu, in the main form? the workspace? sorry but is beyond what I have tried before Thanks. I think you should add the menu to the main form, but I never tried workspaces; I am happy with plain tabstrips. So, I really don't know if it works well with workspaces, because inside them there can be another menu, I suppose (well, this is true for tabstrips too, they can embed other forms). It is not clear to me the path events take to go from X11 to widget system to gambas to whatever ;-) Take a try... it should be quick and easy... good luck!
