Re: gtk programming question

[James Henstridge <james daa com au>]

You probably want gtk_widget_grab_focus().  If the event that should give
the entry focus also moves the focus, you could try using an idle function
like this:
  gboolean give_focus(gpointer data) {
	GtkWidget *widget = GTK_WIDGET(data);

	gtk_widget_grab_focus(widget);
	return FALSE;
  }
