IDL: Button Widget won't focus [message #35885]

Hi, all-

I'm a new IDL programmer - all of three weeks seniority - and I'm stumbling
my way through some of IDL's idiosyncracies. Here's one:

I have a typical widget-based interface, with a stack of bases, text
widgets, labels, and buttons. The environment is X-windows and Unix.

With the interface running, I can hit the TAB key on my keyboard and watch
as the focus shifts from widget to widget on the interface. However, for
some reason, the focus never goes to the last button I added. This button is
labelled "Cancel", but otherwise is similar to the other buttons on the
interface.

Is there some reason why this button won't focus, or is it just me?

A second question: how do I programmatically emulate what happens when I hit
the TAB key?

Thanks
