How To Get Keyboard Input Without Focus On The Frame
Jan 29, 2015
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'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):
I'm nearing the final development stages of my first game, but have run into a problem. I've constructed 4 different levels and allow the user to select the level they want to play from a central JPanel in a Card Layout system. My problem is that once a level is completed, I can't switch the JPanel which is displayed to start the next level, since I don't know how to access the original JPanel which acts as a driver for the other panels.

I created a scanner object but it's not asking for any input. when I create a new scanner and then tell it to print it it just prints a bunch of weirdness when AFIK it should be asking me to type something and then it should repeat what i entered.
import java.util.Scanner; public class main { public static void main(String[] args) { Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in); int number; System.out.println("Input a number");
[code]....
What i want to do is that if the number is greater than 50 to count until 100. else if the number is less than fifty to count for example from 36 to zero.
I want to write a java program which displays to get the GPA of a student as a keyboard input. Then display the class of the degree according to the following criteria using a switch-case statement (if-else statements cannot be used). If the user insert an invalid gpa you should display a message Invalid GPA.
gpa ≥ 3.50 First Class Hons 3.49 ≥ gpa ≥ 3.00 Upper Second Class Hons 2.99 ≥ gpa ≥ 2.50 Lower Second Class Hons 2.49 ≥ gpa ≥ 2.00 Pass 2.00 ≥ gpa Fail
Here is my code:
import java.io.*; public class q7 { public static void main(String[] args) { InputStreamReader ISR=new InputStreamReader(System.in); BufferedReader BR=new BufferedReader(ISR);
[code]...
.But when I use Command console to run this it says: 1111.jpg. I also wanna know is there another way to do this with switch- case statements.
I need to design, implement, and test a program to input and analyze a name. The program begins by retrieving a user input string from the keyboard. This string is intended to be the user's name. These are the errors we have to search analyze the user input for: No blanks between names firstName and lastName, Non-alphabetic characters in names, Less than two characters in first name, and Less than two characters in last name. Each of these errors must be thrown. All exceptions must be derived from a programmer-defined class called NameException. Each exception should use a detailed message to differentiate among the file types of errors.
This is the format of my NameException class, is the format itself correct? I will fill in the details of each exception I am just wondering if that is how I should set it up.
public class NameException extends Exception { private String firstName, lastName; public NoBlanksException(String firstName,String lastName) { } public NonAlphabeticalCharactersException(String firstName, String lastName) {
[Code] .....
I was told not to try and catch thrown errors in the main method, would I just create another method in the Driver class to take care of that then?
I can not enter Latin letters with macron (Latvian specific characters) in JavaFX programs. Instead something like Latin letters with acute are entered.
what I need to enter is characters like this: Latin letter "a" with macron
Browser Test Page for Unicode Character 'LATIN SMALL LETTER A WITH MACRON' (U+0101)
what is actually entered: Latin letter "a" with acute
Browser Test Page for Unicode Character 'LATIN SMALL LETTER A WITH ACUTE' (U+00E1)
There are several keyboard layouts available for Latvian language input. Problem persists only on Windows OS for layouts using tilde key or apostrophe key as deadkeys. There are no problems with Microsoft Latvian (QWERTY) layout that uses ALTGR key as deadkey. There are also no problems on Linux OS using keyboard layouts that causes problems in Windows OS. I also noticed that character input works as expected int SceneBuilder 2.0 (I believe it has been build with javaFX). There are no problems also in java Swing GUI framework. So could this be a bug in JavaFX or am I missing some configuration settings?
How can I enter latin letters with macron using keyboard layout that uses tilde deadkey?
I'm creating a simple login screen and I need to focus on the first field "login" after I click a submit button, so when the page return. I tryed using JS :
I have two JFrames: frame1 and frame2. frame2 currently has focus, and I want to determine which component of frame1 would have focus if I were to switch focus to frame1, hopefully without actually temporarily changing focus.
Is it the KeyboardFocusManager who keeps track of which element in each frame has focus? Or does each container itself keep track? How does Java figure out which element in a frame gets focus when I switch to that window?
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....
I am working on a Java program to monitor meal consumption by members of an organization. They swipe their ID cards, enter PIN, and number of meals they want. System knows if dining room is open and what meal based on time. The system then prints out a receipt on an Epson TM-T88IV receipt printer.
The system is running in console mode. My problem is that when the system prints, a Notepad window pops up for milliseconds and then the Java program loses focus. The screen reverts back to Windows home screen. I'm using Windows XP, SP3 and the latest Java build.
Im trying to embed swt browser in swing , the problem that I have is that i cant change the value of JTextField even when i request focus ,when i try to give input the input goes in the browser's page bar..
public static void main(String[] args) { final SwtBrowserCanvas browserCanvas = new SwtBrowserCanvas(); final JTextField textField = new JTextField(15);
I don't know if this is possible before JSF2.0, but I got a requirement that basically says that I need to be able to add focus to a certain element on the page using a custom JSF 1.2 component.
Currently, I do this with a short jQuery method where you add a class called 'focus' to the inputText component you want focus on. This works perfectly, but I need to also foresee a nested component inside h:inputText to do this.
I had thought about just putting an element with a certain class and using a jQuery selector to get its parent, but then I realized the html input tag does not allow subtags and that couldn't work, so I need something that won't be rendered but will do the job.
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?
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.)
public void createSearchArea(){ filterText = new JTextField("Search Here"); filterText.setForeground(Color.gray); filterText.setBounds(130,5,950,25); filterText.getDocument().addDocumentListener( new DocumentListener() {
[Code] .....
I want to add a text to JTextField whenever the text field is clicked it should be removed and if user types nothing then it should come back.
I've used focus listener but on focus lost my JTable also stops showing data in it.
I have a case where I have a TreeView and I use it to select items from the tree. After I select each item I then clear the TreeView selection. Then, when I select outside of the window, the setFocused is called which in turn selects item 0 from the tree. I see in the TreeView.java the code,
private InvalidationListener focusedListener = observable -> { // RT-25679 - we select the first item in the control if there is no // current selection or focus on any other cell MultipleSelectionModel<TreeItem<T>> sm = getSelectionModel(); FocusModel<TreeItem<T>> fm = getFocusModel();
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?
I've made a small GUI app where you enter a website Into a JTextArea (area) and It appends It to "<a href=http://..... The problem I have Is the area.requestFocus() leaves a single space and the href ends up as URL....Is there a way to move the focus one space to the left or to backspace the appended website ?
