... but if I cannot move the keyboard focus away from the control how can I
stop the user from changing the text? If I use your suggested solution any
keyboard entry will change the text once the control has been "activated".

What I want to achieve is a control that behaves like a "filename"-thingy in
windows which a user can click on to edit and which gives keyboard focus
back to it's parent after the user pressed ENTER. The only way I know to
recognize the ENTER key would be to use a multi-line-editable-text and check
for newlines. BUT this control always has a 3d-border which I can not get
rid of (at least not by using the :border argument).

And there may just be one control in the parent-dialog - so I can not just
"tab" over to another control.
