Main window Active

YGP has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi, I have perlTk window with a list box and it had a feature to select the entries in the list box using key stroke entry. Problem here is every time the windoe opens it need to select the window and use my keyboard to select it. How to make the window active, so that I can select entries with out cliking the main window by mouse. Thanks!

Try `$widget->focusForce;` [download] Where `$widget` is the listbox handle. Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
