[Qt-qml] activeFocusOnPress use-case

[michael.brasser at nokia.com]

Hi Henrik,

activeFocusOnPress was added as a convenience property for a behavior that we didn't want to be hard-coded into TextInput (the same is true for selectByMouse). The idea was that as a "basic" element, TextInput should be flexible enough for people to experiment with and define new ways of handling text interaction, while still making it easy to turn on "standard desktop behavior" where needed. (Using a long press or double-click to activate text editing, or having an "edit" button next to the field to begin the editing might be some examples of where you'd want to disable activeFocusOnPress).

Regards,
Michael

Hi,

what is the use-case for http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7-snapshot/qml-textinput.html#activeFocusOnPress-prop? Is it a different way of setting read-only? Which use-cases would you want to disable active focus when clicking into a textinput?

Cheers,
Henrik
