I have multiple PMW widgets (EntryFields, ScrolledField etc), how can
I skip over these widgets when using the tab key?

I would probably write some custom event handling. Something that
could tell it was a key-press event and not just an on-focus event.
Then it would be a simple, if key-press == tab, put focus on next
widget of interest. Something like that should work.

I looked in my Tkinter book, and it says that if the widget has the
"takefocus" option set to true, the widget is placed in the tab group
and will get focus when they are tabbed to. I assume that this means
if you set the PMW widgets' "takefocus" option to false, they will be
skipped over since they won't be in the tab group.

Isn't there just a simple configuration option to disable the tab
key? Like the takfocus option with Tkinter widgets?

I've tried using the takefocus option set to 0 and 1 but either way,
the tab key still stops at my EntryField. Below is my snippet of
code. What am I doing wrong?
entry=Pmw.Entry Field(frame,
labelpos = 'w',
value = "",
label_text =
'Name:')
entry.grid(row= 1)
#entry.componen t('entry').take focus = 1
entry.component ('entry').takef ocus = 0

According to the Tkinter book, setting takefocus to 0 (false) should
work. Are you putting th EntryField into a Grid? If so, that might be
the problem. I suppose the grid may override its children's settings.
I've never messed too much with skipping widgets in the tab order. You
could pack the PMW widgets last so that they won't get tabbed to until
the end.
There's also tk_focusNext & tk_focusPrev. See the following post for
more info and ideas: http://www.dbforums.com/archive/inde...t-1377788.html

I am using a grid, but even using pack() the takefocus=0 doesn't

Oops. Sorry. When I said grid, I was thinking that Tkinter had a grid
widget. I had forgotten they called one of there sizer/place
management options "grid". Sorry about that. I use wxPython as much as
possible.

Are you sure you don't mean:
entry.component ('entry')['takefocus'] = 0
which is equivalent to
entry.component ('entry').confi g(takefocus=0)

What version of Pmw are you using ? Tabbing between widgets works fine
on my system (Pmw 1.2, tk 8.4, KDE)
I can change the focus behaviour by using the takefocus option. You
were on the right track, you just did it wrong (see code below):
############### ############### ############### ############### ############
from Tkinter import *
import Pmw
root = Tk()
entry = Pmw.EntryField( root, labelpos=W, value="", label_text='Nam e:')
entry.grid(row= 1)
entry.component ('entry').confi gure(takefocus= 0)
Button(root,tex t='test1').grid (row=2)
Button(root,tex t='test2').grid (row=3)
Button(root,tex t='test3').grid (row=4)
root.mainloop()
############### ############### ############### ############### #############

I'm trying to make a custom entry widget, as in the code that follows.
There are two problems I'm trying to fix:
1) I would like the widget to behave as myEntry.Escape() does now,
except that it happens on loss of focus, not when pressing Esc.
2) TABbing between multiple entry fields does undesired things with
the selection, and with cursor placement.
Can anyone offer any suggestions for how to fix this? I'm attemting to

What I have works, but seems like a long way around the block. First I

self.nametowidget(event.widget.winfo_parent()).hasChanged= True
