Subject: Re: FXTexr and widget focus

If you know how to set focus to the next widget, then all you have to do is
capture the TAB keypress. You can do this by subclassing the FXText widget
and capture the keypresses.

class MyTextWidget < FXText
	def initialize(*args)
		FXMAPFUNC(SEL_KEYRELEASE, 0, "onKeyRelease")

	def onKeyRelease(sender, sel, event)
		if event.code == Fox::KEY_Tab then
			# switch focus
		end
	end
end
