Description Tod Creasey CLA 2004-03-25 11:42:35 EST 
It is not possible to give focus to a toolbar either by tabbing or selecting 
with the mouse and trying to use arrow keys.

As a result it is not possible to give focus to a view that has no selectable 
content.

ToolBars won't take focus with the mouse.  As long as they are SWT.FLAT, they 
can be tabbed into and the arrow keys move around inside them.  I just 
verified this works with the ControlExample.  Are you playing around with 
Control.setTabList()?

Please verify for yourself with the ControlExample (NOTE: It only works for 
SWT.FLAT ToolBars) and reopen if not WORKSFORYOU.

You were right Steve. Thanks.
