[news.eclipse.platform.swt] Re: Generating MouseEvents

["Grant Gayed" <grant_gayed@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Rudi,

Display.post(...) can be used to create mouse events and post them into the
OS.

The focus behaviour that you describe sounds strange though, and I've never
heard of this before.  At what point do you try to set the focus back to the
Table?  Is it possible that it is getting set to the Table but is then
stolen back by the acrobat plug-in?  Does waiting for 10 seconds before
setting the focus to the Table help?  Does setting the focus back to the
Table in a display.asyncExec() block help?
