Description | Use the focusPattern property to specify the pattern used for the outline around an active control|active (focused) control. Pattern images can be color or black-and-white. *Cross-platform note:* To be used as a pattern on Mac OS systems, an image must be 128x128 pixels or less, and both its height and width must be a power of 2. To be used on Windows and Unix systems, height and width must be divisible by 8. To be used as a fully cross-platform pattern, both an image's dimensions should be one of 8, 16, 32, 64, or 128. The focusPattern of controls is drawn starting at the control's upper right corner: if the control is moved, the pattern does not shift. Setting the focusPattern of an object to empty allows the focusPattern of the object's owner to show through. Use the effective keyword to find out what color is used for the object, even if its own focusPattern is empty. The setting of the focusPattern property has different effects, depending on the object type:
If an object's focusPattern is set, the pattern is shown instead of the color specified by the focusColor. The focusPattern property has no effect if the lookAndFeel property is set to Macintosh. | ||||||
