Facility Control

I have several droplists on my grid file which run some code when a selection is made, and that works nicely. However, one thing I would like to change is that after the code has run, I would like to switch focus away from the drop list, as it is left with a blinking cursor at the end of the text of the selected entry (which is read only, or course) which is somewhat distracting. 

Now, if I click on a read only parameter elsewhere on my panel, the focus changes, and the cursor goes away. How can I accomplish 'de-select me' in code to make it cleaner than 'just click on something else' ?

I'm sure there must be a way, but I haven't figured it out yet!

You could create an empty label, and after the choice is made use ogscript.focus("labelid") to force the focus to that label.

Here is example panel I just created to see if it would work.

<abs contexttype="opengear" gridsize="20" id="_top" keepalive="false">
<meta>
<params>
<param access="1" constrainttype="INT_CHOICE" name="list" oid="list" precision="0" type="INT32" value="3" widget="list">
<constraint key="1">one</constraint>
<constraint key="2">two</constraint>
<constraint key="3">three</constraint>
</param>
</params>
</meta>
<label height="20" id="label" left="80" name="my label" style="txt-align:west;" top="120" width="360"/>
<param expand="true" height="40" left="80" oid="list" top="160" widget="combo" width="440">
<task tasktype="ogscript">ogscript.focus("label");</task>
</param>
</abs>

Perfect! I was on the right track, but I couldn't get the syntax right. That works for me :)
