| Control.setFocus() can be configured to avoid activating its shell |
Calling Control.setFocus() also activates its containing Shell.
This behavior is undocumented and somewhat surprising;
it makes it impossible to set focus on a specific control in a background shell without that shell popping to the foreground as a side effect.
The new system property org.eclipse.swt.internal.activateShellOnForceFocus can be used to disable this side effect
such that only an explicit call to Shell.setActive() will bring the shell to the foreground.
The new system property can be added as VM argument in the -Dorg.eclipse.swt.internal.activateShellOnForceFocus=false
Or it can be specified on the command line as See SWT Issue 450 |
