ABSTRACT:
A Lightweight component is made focus traversable by creating a pseudo native windowing system widget for each and every Lightweight component. This pseudo native widget has no geometry associated with it and does no rendering of the component since rendering of Lightweight components is done in Java. The pseudo native widget lives on the native windowing system's list of widgets and occupies a real estate thereby causing the native windowing system to attach a native structure with each and every Lightweight component, thus giving the windowing system accessibility to the Lightweight components. Since the pseudo native widgets are on the list of regular widgets, focus navigation for Lightweights become consistent with regular windowing system widgets, making the Lightweight components visible to all focus navigation events.
