Class FocusEvent

A sticky event that is fired right before a Widget gains a specific focus. Not capturable by user listeners. If not captured by the widget, the widget will not gain the focus.

Always check the focus type to avoid weird behaviour.

focusType: FocusType

The gained focus type

propagation: Sticky

Which event propagation model is this event type using?

type

The type of this event instance. Compare this against the static WidgetEvent."type" in the class or a known string value. Comparing this value and doing an instanceof check must be equivalent.

userCapturable

Is this event capturable by user event handlers?

Note that if the event does not propagate, capturing the event still has an effect; events are handled in the order for which the handlers were added, meaning that if a handler captures the event, the other handlers won't be called.

type: "focus" = 'focus'

The type of this event class. Each event type should be unique, and have a unique class.

Due to Typescript limitations, no compile error is thrown when this static field is not set at a sub-class. Despite this, the type must be set to a unique string value.

Methods
