Hi Daniel

You can use ALL_EVENTS keyword to WIDGET_TEXT...

pro test_event, event
EvName=tag_names(event, /structure_name)
case EvName of
'WIDGET_KBRD_FOCUS' : print, "Focus"
'WIDGET_TEXT_SEL' : print, "Selection"
'WIDGET_TEXT_CH' : Print, "Character input"
'WIDGET_TEXT_DEL' : print, "Character deleted"
endcase
end

pro test
w=widget_base( /COLUMN, /KBRD_FOCUS_EVENTS)
item1 = widget_text(w, value='1', /EDITABLE, /ALL_EVENTS)
item2 = widget_text(w, value='2', /EDITABLE,/ALL_EVENTS)
widget_control, /REALIZE, w
xmanager, 'test', w,/JUST_REG
end

You have to add the ALL_EVENTS keyword to your example:

pro test_event, event
help, event, /Structure
end
pro test
w=widget_base( /COLUMN, /KBRD_FOCUS_EVENTS)
item1 = widget_text(w, value='1', /EDITABLE, /ALL_EVENTS)
item2 = widget_text(w, value='2', /EDITABLE, /ALL_EVENTS)
widget_control, /REALIZE, w
xmanager, 'test', w,/JUST_REG
end

Cheers,

David
