editw is set to after function but widget doesnt get focus

[Hombre del saco]

Hello!

first of all sorry for my english:

I am getting fun with npyscreen but i have one problem: I have one Form with widgets and when I press a button I want to get focus to first item, this is my code:

def function_excel(self):

self.grid.values = []

items = self.parentApp.myExcel.read_wb_interface()

for x in items:

cola = self.parentApp.myDatabase.get_record(x)

self.grid.values.append(cola)

self.grid.display()  

self.editw = 0  

self.label.value = str(self.editw)

self.label.update()

When I exit to the function I know that editw its in 0 (label show it) but dont get focus, button is still highlight on yellow, and if I press TAB focus pass to next item to editw=0, so its correct.

I tried to self.display() after self.editw = 0, but nothin happens

anyone could help me? 

Regards

Ok i got It! I didnt see a previous topic that speaks about It, here the solution:

Add value 'False' on atribute '.editing' in my button before a exit the function!

Later I Will post my code.

Regards!

Here is the code:

Greetings,

This is something obvious, so apologies for the ignorant question. Based on the below snippet, can you advise how I can fix this example to get focus on 'Field 2'. I still want Fields 1-3 to be editable, but I want the focus and .editing to start at a specific field:

import npyscreen

class TestApp(npyscreen.NPSApp):

    def main(self):

        F  = npyscreen.Form(name = "I want to change the initial focus and edit Field 2")

        f0 = F.add(npyscreen.TitleText, name = '# widg:', editable = False)

        f1  = F.add(npyscreen.TitleText, name = "Field 1:")

        f2  = F.add(npyscreen.TitleText, name = "Field 2:")

        f3  = F.add(npyscreen.TitleText, name = "Field 3:")

        no_of_widgets = len(F._widgets__)

        F._widgets__[0].value = str(no_of_widgets)

        for i in range(1, no_of_widgets): F._widgets__[i].value = str(i)

        f1.editing = False # 1) does not stop f1 from being edited

        F.editw = 2 # 2) does not change focus to f2

        F.edit()

if __name__ == "__main__": TestApp().run()
