[platform-swt-dev] Shell.getFocusControl

[Thomas Singer <ts-swt@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi SWT designers,

Assume you have 2 standalone shells, each with a couple of controls. The 
active shell's focuses control is the one which is returned by 
display.getFocusControl(), but also the the second, inactive shell has a 
focus control. It is the one that gets the focus if the shell is 
activated. Why a shell does not have a method to return its focus 
control, even if the shell is inactive? What is the preferred way to 
change the shell's focus control without activating the shell?
