Detailed Description

An Elementary application has, at all times, one (and only one) focused object.

This is what determines where the input events go to within the application's window. Also, focused objects can be decorated differently, in order to signal to the user where the input is, at a given moment.

Elementary applications also have the concept of focus chain: one can cycle through all the windows' focusable objects by input (tab key) or programmatically. The default focus chain for an application is the one define by the order in which the widgets where added in code. One will cycle through top level widgets, and, for each one containing sub-objects, cycle through them all, before returning to the level above. Elementary also allows one to set custom focus chains for their applications.

Besides the focused decoration a widget may exhibit, when it gets focus, Elementary has a global focus highlight object that can be enabled for a window. If one chooses to do so, this extra highlight effect will surround the current focused object, too.

Note
Some Elementary widgets are unfocusable, after creation, by their very nature: they are not meant to be interacted with input events, but are there just for visual purposes.

This example contemplates some of these functions.

focusEINA_TRUE Set focus to a given object, EINA_FALSE Unset focus to a given object.
Note
When you set focus to this object, if it can handle focus, will take the focus away from the one who had it previously and will, for now on, be the one receiving input events. Unsetting focus will remove the focus from obj, passing it back to the previous element in the focus chain list.
Warning
Only visible object can get a focus. Call evas_object_show(o) before calling this API, if you want to give a focus to the evas object.

enableEINA_TRUE if the object can be focused, EINA_FALSE if not (and on errors)

This sets whether the object obj is able to take focus or not. Unfocusable objects do nothing when programmatically focused, being the nearest focusable parent object the one really getting focus.
