Hello All, We have released recently a bug fix which makes possible for a styled component to grab the focus on mouse press or when touched. By default the behaviour is turned off on s StyledItem, but in most of the active toolkit components is turned on (buttons, list items, popups, pickers). Whereas in most of the cases this is harmful for you, there can be situation when the focus grabbing on a Button or Checkbox is not desired. This can be achieved by setting the activeFocusOnPress to false for the component.
As said, the focus handling has been introduced on StyledItem, therefore it good to read the documentation once the website gets updated [1]. Meanwhile the idea: "activeFocusOnPress" (default false) drives the focus grabbing on a component, and a component can grab focus only if all its StyledItem ancestors are having this property true. Popups are a special case: their element safe grabbing the focus when tapped as well. However, when closed, the focus is restored to the component being focused before the popup got opened. In case this is not desired, the focus can be set to any other component by watching the time the popup is closed (yet needs to be connected to popup's Component.onDestruction signal) and then setting the focus to the desired component. And here comes the second API: requestFocus() function is the preferred one to be used. You can use forceActiveFocus() as well, however that one doesn't check the ancestry, like requestFocus() does. And last but not least, for any questions, ping us on #ubuntu-app-devel, or write us. Cheers, Zsombor [1] http://developer.ubuntu.com/api/qml/sdk-14.10/Ubuntu.Components.StyledItem/
