PA_IsWindowFocused (windowRef) char
Parameter | Type | Description | |
windowRef | PA_WindowRef | Reference to the window | |
Function result | char | 1 = windowRef is focused |
Description
The routine PA_IsWindowFocused returns 1 if the window referenced by windowRef has the focus at the time of the call. It windowRef does not have the focus, PA_IsWindowFocused returns 0.
Only focusable windows can get the keyboard focus. A focusable window is a window that can receive keyboard events ("get the focus"), even if it is a floating window. When a focusable window receives a keyboard event, it becomes focused. For example, the tool palette of the Form Editor is not focusable. When the user clicks on it, it does not get the focus, which remains in the Editor. On the other hand, the properties palette is focusable. When the user clicks in an editable field (to set a variable name, an object name) of this palette, it takes the focus and the keyboard events.
