I want to make check the contents of an Entry box after the user has finished entering data. The tab key moves the focus from the current Entry box but sometimes it is not sensible to use the tab key. Therefore the mouse can be used. If I use
$widget->focusFollowsMouse;
the focus model of application is changed so that the focus follows the mouse pointer. This is great since it gets the focus out of the current widget when the mouse pointer moves out of the widget. However, if the mouse goes across another Entry box which can be checked, a check is done whether or not it should happen.
Is there a way I can reset the focus model to ‘undo’ the focusFollwosMouse statement?
