Swing/AWT/SWT :: Providing Focus To Keyboard Buttons On JInternalFrame
Dec 5, 2014
I'm having issues with providing focus to keyboard buttons when a JInternalFrame with keyboard buttons is called in my program. So for example when the program is started the attachment called signinscn.png is called.
This screen is a JDesktopPane which calls JPanel for its components.
From here a JInternalFrame containing the buttons ESC and F1 to F4 as seen in the attachment called signinscn.png is called.
I would like the buttons in my JInternalFrame to have focus such that when a user engages the equivalent keyboard button i.e. ESC or F1 to F4 WITHOUT clicking on the JInternalFrame the respective button's action listener kicks in. At the moment only after the user clicks on the JInternalFrame do the equivalent keyboard buttons respond.
Here's the constructor of my JInternalFrame and you can see how I handle the ESC keyboard button in the constructor of the JInternalFrame (but as I mentioned only after the user has engaged the JInternalFrame):
//!<
public AdminHomeJIFrame() {
super(null, false, // Resizable
false, // Closable
false, // Maximizable
false); // Iconifiable
BasicInternalFrameTitlePane titlePane =
(BasicInternalFrameTitlePane)((BasicInternalFrameUI)this.getUI()).getNorthPane();
[Code] ....

so i'm working in a chat program and i'm trying to make it so that you are able to open another tab yet still be able to chat.
right now the client that the user download uses the keyadapter to get the keyboard input, but whenever the user un-focus the chat window, the keyadapter no longer gets the keyboard input.so is there another way i can get the keyboard input? so it doesn't matter what window you are focused on, you get the keyboard input either way?

I got a JFrame with its JDesktopPane, and opens a JInternalFrame at the beginning of the execution of the application. That's all fine.
And then, the first JInternalFrame opens another JInternalFrame in its maximum size, and that's when a simple JLabel that I got o the second internal it disapears. Why?

I am in the progress of updating my code and re-testing after switching from Java 6 to Java 7. When I open multiple JInternalFrames in my application under java 6 I am used to closing the top most internal frame and having the frame immediately under it become the next active frame. When I run the same code under Java 7 I see a different behaviour in as much as when I close the last frame I opened, the next one to become active is the first one.
To illustrate this another way, lets say I open 5 internal frames, 1,2,3,4 & 5
In java 6 when I close frame 5, frame 4 becomes the active frame.
In java 7 when I close frame 5, frame 1 becomes the active frame.

I'm facing a problem in controlling the focus traversal mechanism inside a jframe...as i want the focus to travel from top to bottom by pressing tab key regularly , but it travels left to right and then top to bottom through the textfields... The form looks like
textfield1 textfield4
textfield2 textfield5
textfield3
The focus travels from 1 to 4 , 2 to 5 and then rests at 3. but i want it to be like from 1 to 2 to 3 and then 4 and 5....

This code will not dismiss the MemoryDateDialog when it loses focus, while it is what it is intended to do.
btnMemoryReason.addActionListener(new ActionListener(){
@Override
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
List<MemoryDates> lMemoryDates = db.getMemoryDates(custID);
final MemoryDateDialog mdd = new MemoryDateDialog(lMemoryDates);

the focus traversal policy (hereafter "tab order") in forms and panels doesn't follow the order in which controls were inserted into the container, but is derived from the position of the components on the form or panel. This is very neat (and probably allows sloppy coders and GUI builders to exist without actually ever thinking about the tab order), except when it isn't. As when you actually want to specify a different component order, for example.
In the following example, I've created a form with two columns of buttons. I want the tab order to go through the first column of buttons, followed by second column of buttons (ie. a column-by-column schema). The default tab order is row-by-row, however, and can be obtained for reference by commenting out the setupFocus() call in the constructor.
I had hoped that the ContainerOrderFocusTraversalPolicy would do the job, but there is a couple of problems (which I've addressed in the setupFocus() method). Firstly, the container itself is part of the focus chain. This at least is easily remediable by calling setFocusable(false), but I don't have to do that with the initial focus traversal policy, so I wonder why I have to do it with this one. The other problem is more pressing, though - the ContainerOrderFocusTraversalPolicy lets me (un)hapilly tab through JLabels. Again, I've fixed this, but the initial policy knows all by itself that it's not a good idea to focus a JLabel. Moreover, I'm afraid there might be other components that do not receive focus with the original policy, but ContainerOrderFocusTraversalPolicy might plod though them.
isn't there some focus traversal policy implementation that I could just set and it would tab through exactly the same components as the original policy, except it would order them according to their order in the container?
Code:
package test;
import java.awt.Component;
import java.awt.ContainerOrderFocusTraversalPolicy;
import java.awt.GridBagConstraints;
import java.awt.GridBagLayout;
import java.awt.Insets;
import javax.swing.JButton;
import javax.swing.JDialog;
import javax.swing.JLabel;
import javax.swing.SwingUtilities;

I have a program with a main panel JPanel that implements KeyListener. I added a JTextArea to which I added as the KeyListener: this, meaning the main panel. I made the JTextArea fill the entire main panel because I want to catch a key press anywhere in the main panel.I catch the key presses and the program does what I want it to.
I added a JToolBar to the program; it is working just fine.Now that I have two components on the main panel - toolbar and panel with textarea -, the textarea must have the focus before it will send the KeyEvent and call keyPressed(). I don't want to expect the user to click on the main window to get the program to start or after each time they use the toolbar.
I have tried calling both requestFocus() and requestFocusInWindow() on the textarea; neither call worked. I put the toolbar at PAGE_END instead of PAGE_START; this worked to allow the program to start but I don't want to have the toolbar at the bottom and once I clicked on a toolbar button, the textarea lost the focus.
I need to be able to give the textarea the focus when the program starts and after the user uses a toolbar button. (I suspect that if I solve the problem when the program starts, I can use the same method after handling a button press.)

How would you set a column in a JTable to make it unable to gain focus i.e. select the next column on the same row or ignore the command completely when selecting a column that should not be able to be gained focus on?

So I have a Jframe that has a set of functions that act on a node. What I want to do is allow the user to expand the gui by creating new sets (copies) of these functions when they have more nodes.I thought of hiding extra sets and making it appear they are adding them by making them visible.

This is right from a book I'm reading but it doesn't work. The problem is to write an application that lets you determine the integer value returned by the InputEvent method getModifiers() when you click your left, right, or middle mouse button on a JFrame.
This is the code copied directly from the book. What is missing:
import java.awt.event.InputEvent;
import java.awt.event.MouseAdapter;
import java.awt.event.MouseEvent;
import java.awt.event.MouseListener;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
public class JLeftOrRight {

I am trying to build a binary game. I have six buttons. What I need to do is when I click on each button, the number needs to be changed from 0 to 1 and from 1 to 0 back again. However, I cannot do it wiht the below code. In addition, I would like to buttons on the GUI to be laid horizontally as well.
public class BinaryGame extends JFrame implements ActionListener

private JFrame binaryGameFrame;
private JLabel StartLabel;
private JPanel controlPanel;

private Object firstButton;

How do I move focus from a jcombobox to a specific component say a jtextarea.
My attempt below seems to be moving to a random component not the desired jtextarea.
takenByCombo.addKeyListener(new KeyAdapter() {
public void keyPressed(KeyEvent e) {
if (e.getKeyCode() == KeyEvent.VK_TAB ) {
e.consume();
dayJTArea.requestFocus(); // focust not moving dayJTArea
}
}
});
I applied the above logic to move focus from a specific jtextarea to another jtextarea as seen below and it works as desired.
dayJTArea.addKeyListener(new KeyAdapter() {
public void keyPressed(KeyEvent e) {
if (e.getKeyCode() == KeyEvent.VK_TAB ) {
e.consume();
monthJTArea.requestFocus();
}
}
});

I am using a HashMap to store names (keys) and IDs (values). I have set it up so that the radio buttons are added to the JPanel dynamically. That is, each time a name/id is added, a new radio button is automatically generated and added to the panel. Here is a snippet of the code I have thus far:
private void employeeButtons() {
buttonPanel = new JPanel();
buttonPanel.setLayout(new GridLayout(5,2,5,5));
empMap.put("Kyle", "1090");
empMap.put("Alex", "6490");
empMap.put("Mark", "9090");
empMap.put("Anne", "4390");
[code]...
The above code adds all of the radio buttons to the panel just fine. However, I need the buttons to be mutually exclusive. I would like to be able to not only add the buttons dynamically, but I need the buttons to be added to a ButtonGroup dynamically as well. That is, when I add a new hashmap entry the a new radio button is generated and added to the radiobutton group.

I set out to make a Tic-tac-toe (Cross and Noughts) game to test my learning so far. While things have gone pretty well so far, I am absolutely stumped by my current issue. When I compile and run the code, the Grid of buttons that I generate do not appear. However, if I mouse over the window, they seem to then get refreshed/repainted. I cannot for the life of me figure out why this is happening. From Googling the issue, it seems this is either an issue with the layout manager or related to a thread conflict with the GUI? [URL] ....
I'm listing out the code for the game class and the button class.
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.util.*;
public class CrossNoughtsGame {
private JFrame frame;
private JPanel mainPanel;
private ArrayList<CNButton> buttonList = new ArrayList<CNButton>();
private boolean isX = true;

public static void main(String[] args) {
String[] images = new String[5];
images[0] = "B.png";

images[2] = "H.png";
images[3] = "D.png";
images[4] = "S.png";
[code]....
There is my code so far, on the line JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null, "Give us a word starting with "+text[i]+":", "tut", 2, image, ?, null);, eclipse gave me 2 extra arguments following the icon and I'm not sure what exactly goes into the 2nd to last, the "selectionValues" argument.
After checking the Java docs, it was apparent that the option buttons goes into the selectionValues argument, but is there a way to work past that if I would only like the default (OK, Cancel) buttons on my window? The school haven't taught us the method to create custom buttons and I doubt I would've been set something that was not taught.

Is it possible to create a JInternalFrame class with additional public functions that can be called from the desktop? Here is some snippets of the code. This is the Internal Frame with the public functions added after the constructor.
public class Search_Ifr extends javax.swing.JInternalFrame {
/**
* Creates new form Search_Ifr
*/
public Search_Ifr() {
initComponents();
[code].....
The line " ifrSearch.setTabPaneIndex("tabCust");" is throwing a compile error that the method is not found.
