Re: GtkEntry and default buttons. GtkEntry eats the "Enter"

[John Cupitt <john cupitt ng-london org uk>]

Hi Norman, you can also do a grab_default to get the OK button to
highlight when the entry has focus. gtkfilesel does this:

-- 
  gtk_signal_connect_object (GTK_OBJECT (entry), "focus_in_event",
    GTK_SIGNAL_FUNC (gtk_widget_grab_default), GTK_OBJECT (ok_button));
  gtk_signal_connect_object (GTK_OBJECT (entry), "activate",
    GTK_SIGNAL_FUNC (gtk_button_clicked), GTK_OBJECT (ok_button));
-- 

HTH, John
