Purpose of FocusScope

sajis997

Hello forum,

I am trying ton understand the purpose of the Item FocusScope and following the documentation at

Could you please run the following snippet at your end?

import QtQuick 2.0


	Rectangle
	{
		id: widget
		color: "lightsteelblue"
		width: 240
		height: 25
		radius: 10
		antialiasing: true

		Text { id: label; anchors.centerIn: parent }
		focus: true

		Keys.onPressed:
		{
			if(event.key == Qt.Key_A)
                           label.text = 'Key A was pressed'
			else if(event.key == Qt.Key_B)
			   label.text = 'Key B was pressed'
			else if(event.key == Qt.Key_C)
		           label.text = 'Key C was pressed'
		}		
	}

import QtQuick 2.0


Rectangle
{
	id: window
	color: "white"
	width: 240
	height: 150


	Column
	{
		anchors.centerIn: parent
		spacing: 15

		MyWidget
		{
			focus: true
			color: "lightblue"
		}

		MyWidget
		{
			color: "palegreen"
		}
	}
}

The code works as expected without the usage of FocusScope. I am lost here.

Thanks
