Have you also noticed that Flex draws a focus border around its components when you give them focus using the keyboard (by using the tab button)?
Great but why is the focus border not drawn when using the mouse to give a component the focus?
The solution is simple: extend the existing components and force the border drawing yourself:
<mx:CheckBox
xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
focusIn="onFocusIn()">
<mx:Script>
//
// Support to draw the focus border on focusIn
//
private function onFocusIn(): void
{
this.drawFocus(true);
}
</mx:Script>
</mx:CheckBox>
skip to main |
skip to sidebar
Sorry - I'm addicted. But I shouldn't be ashamed: I'm addicted to Adobe Flex - the solution that we should have had 10 years ago. If that would have been the case the internet would look completely different today. But don't worry: in 10 years from now it WILL look completely different :)

Don't know Flex but can't you simply create new controls based on the existing ones and including this focusIn extension?
Having to add this to every control in an application looks like a little pain in the ass to me...
That's exactly what I do. It has to be done for every UI control however but as you can see: the amount of code that needs to be written is very small.
