PMW widget - skip tabbing to it

[jp]

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

Thank you,
John

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()
############### ############### ############### ############### #############

Thank you for pointing out my error, John and James. I had the syntax
of the command messed up. Using the following does cause the field to
be skipped when tabbing:
entry.component ('entry').confi gure(takefocus= 0)
