Focus is not working about shoes3 HOT 4 CLOSED

The feature implemented in issue #34 demonstrated that the scope of elements may not be available at the time they are called due to how Shoes process script initialization. The following script cause an error whereas it should not:

Shoes.app {
   @c = check
   para @c.checked?
}

(cshoes.exe:8752): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_toggle_button_get_active: assertion `GTK_IS_TOGGLE_BUTTON (toggle_button)' failed

Using a timer will allow the block to be executed only once elements are initialized and prevent the Gtk-CRITICAL error.

Shoes.app {
   @c = check
   timer(0) { para @c.checked? }
}

One can also use the start method instead of a timer. I'm going to close this issues since there is nothing anybody is going to do. It's just part of Shoes.

It doesn't make much sense to close it for the aforementioned reason. There is nothing wrong to let it open until some solutions come up. It's not a closing issues contest! It could however be label low priority if you feel the challenge versus reward is too big.

You're alive @backorder ? I cruise the issues to determine what to fix next and I come across issues that no one is going to fix because thats 'just shoes' or no one is going fix without a complete top-down re-think/re-write and I don't see any volunteers for that effort - they're probably busy writing cross platform app GUI apps in javascript. If you want to assign yourself to this issue, then please reopen it.
