Disable keyboard focus for all components in plugin window?

Audio Plugins

Hi all,

is there a way to disable keyboard focus for a component and all its child components (buttons, sliders, etc) at once and for good? At the moment, when I click on a button in a plugin window, it will have keyboard focus and when I press enter for example, it will trigger the button instead of controlling the DAW.

thanks,
Stefan

Component::setWantsKeyboardFocus()
Component::setMouseClickGrabsKeyboardFocus()

Search the Component class for all sorts of focus related functions.

If you want to unfocus everything all at once, there is:

Component:unfocusAllComponents()

Nevermind, I found the issue.

I’m using a PreferencesPanel and every page is rebuilt when opening. Therefore I had to use a KeyboardFocusTraverser on every settings page individually. Using that code finally did the trick:

auto focusTraverser = Component::createKeyboardFocusTraverser();
auto comps = focusTraverser->getAllComponents(this);
for (auto& comp : comps) {
    comp->setWantsKeyboardFocus(false);
    comp->setMouseClickGrabsKeyboardFocus(false);
    }

Thanks anyway
Stefan
