Multiple displayables have this, the values are compared and theĭisplayable with the greatest default focus becomes the default. If given and true, the displayable is focused by default.

If and only if it is added directly to the screen.įor example, if a vbox is wrapped in a transform, and added directly Replace, and replaced external events are delivered to a transform This transforms are used to wrap this displayable.
