Example 1-10 Example illustrating need to show focus clearly
![]() |
One of the controls in this window has focus, but it's impossible to tell which... |
![]() |
...until you scroll the list, which reveals that one of its items is currently selected. |
![]() |
If the list control itself is given a "focused" border, it's easy to tell it has focus even when the currently-selected item isn't visible. |
Example 1-11 Example illustrating use of secondary focus
![]() |
In this example, it's impossible to tell just by looking which of the two panes actually has keyboard focus. |
![]() |
By using a secondary selection highlight color in the inactive pane, it's immediately obvious that the tree control has focus here... |
![]() |
...and that the list control has focus here. |
