Creating a window that does not accept focus

[Paul Young]

WX : 3.0.1
OS : Windows 8.1
COMPILER: VC12 IDE

I have a window which contains some sizers and some static text. I
would prefer that it never accept focus.

I added the following to my wxFrame subclass:


bool AcceptsFocus() const { return false; }
bool AcceptsFocusRecursively() const { return false; }
bool AcceptsFocusFromKeyboard() const { return false; }

It had no effect as far as I can tell. I also tried it in
the minimal sample and it had no effect.

Should this work? Is there some other way to do this?

If it's a wxPanel it should already work correctly, in theory.

Overriding just AcceptsFocus() should be enough in principle. If you can
reproduce this in the minimal sample with as small amount of code as
possible, please open a Trac ticket for this (please also mention how
exactly do you give focus to it -- just by clicking it?).
