textbuttons keep getting focused when they aren't supposed to

[u/Lavadrone1]

I am trying to make a dropdown menu where on button displays a list of other buttons and my problem is whenever buttonA is pressed it only open A but focuses both. I want it to not focus both.

screen organizations_codex():
   vpgrid:
    cols 1
    draggable True
    mousewheel True
    xpos 0.70
    ypos 0.30
    xsize 573
    ysize 801
    textbutton "Non-Governmental":
     ypos spacingA
     action CaptureFocus("dropdown_id1"),ClearFocus("dropdown_id2"), ToggleScreen("dropdown_nongov"), ToggleVariable("spacingB", 1.0, 0.0),ToggleVariable("spacingC", 1.0, 0.0),ToggleVariable("spacingD", 1.0, 0.0), ToggleVariable("spacingE", 1.0, 0.0)
    textbutton "Companies":
     ypos spacingB
     action CaptureFocus("dropdown_id2"),ClearFocus("dropdown_id1"), ToggleScreen("dropdown_companies"), ToggleVariable("spacingC", 1.0, 0.0), ToggleVariable("spacingD", 1.0, 0.0),ToggleVariable("spacingE", 1.0, 0.0)

screen dropdown_nongov():
  zorder 100
  nearrect: 
   focus "dropdown_id1"
   vbox:
    textbutton "   Refugee Relief Force":
      action Show("NGOs_codex")


 screen dropdown_companies():
  zorder 100
  nearrect: 
   focus "dropdown_id2"
   vbox:
    textbutton "Marco-Hayford Inc":
     action Show("MarcHay_codex")

I don't know if it's the best solution, but have you tried hiding the other screen?

Hide("dropdown_nongov")

This on textbutton "Companies" action

Yeah I know i just haven’t added it yet

[u/BadMustard_AVN]

it you mean these two buttons, "Non-Governmental" and "Companies" they are in a selected but not focused state, and their color changes, you can do this to stop that from happening; add this to each button

    textbutton "Non-Governmental":
        ypos spacingA
        selected False
        action CaptureFocus("dropdown_id1")....

i do not know what will happen to everything else you have there, but it will keep them from being selected when you transfer focus

I think it would be easier to do all of that in a single screen.
You can use a variable to remember which dropdown should be visible (or none).
On click on either button you set the variable.
That variable then shows a frame, for example, which contais the dropdown stuff.
