Cannot retreive focus in TextEdit inside a StackView item.

MikhailG

Hello! I do not understand why it does not work properly. I want to set TextEdit focus to true when the window pops out. TextEdit can receive key events only after a click has been performed on its area.

main.qml

ApplicationWindow {
    id:aplWin
    visible: true
    minimumWidth:  1280
    minimumHeight: 1024

    StackView {
        id: stackView
        anchors.fill: parent
        initialItem: SignInWin {}
    }
}

SignInWin.qml

Page {
    id: root
    width: parent.width + 500
    height: parent.height

    Rectangle {
        border.color: "black"
        y: 200
        width: 50
        height: 20
        z: 1
        TextEdit {
            anchors.fill: parent
            color: "black"
            focus: true
        }
    }
}

Getting focus to work correctly has always been difficult for me, but I think in this case you also need to set the focus of your StackView to true as well. I just tested it, you also need to set the focus of the Page is SignInWin to true. Then it will work as you want it to.

The problem is I don't really know why it works this way. I would need to read more documentation or ask someone who really understand how focus works to really understand this.

you can try this example in SignInWin.qml :

Page {
    id: root
    width: parent.width + 500
    height: parent.height
    focus: true

    Rectangle {
        border.color: "black"
        y: 200
        width: 50
        height: 20
        z: 1
        TextEdit {
            id:txt
            anchors.fill: parent
            color: "black"
            focus: true
        }
    }
    Component.onCompleted:{

        txt.forceActiveFocus()
    }
}
