Focus of JWindow in Solaris OS urgent!...

Answer 1

This is kind of strange, I use this technique myself with J2SDK 1.3.1 and Solaris 8. I exteded the sample code:
The extended source of the WindowListener again.
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
public class GrabFocusWindowAdapter extends WindowAdapter
private JComponent component;
public GrabFocusWindowAdapter(JComponent component)
this.component = component;
public void windowOpened(WindowEvent event)
setFocus(event);
public void windowIsClosing(WindowEvent event)
setFocus(event);
public void setFocus(WindowEvent event)
if (component != null && component.isEnabled())
component.requestFocus();
The dialog classes source is as follows (when the dialog appears, the "focused" field should have the focus (always)):
import javax.swing.*;
public class DetailsDialog extends JDialog
public DetailsDialog(JFrame parent)
super(parent, "Title");
JTextField focused = new JTextField();
JTextField notFocused = new JTextField();
getContentPane().setLayout(new BorderLayout());
getContentPane().add(focused, BorderLayout.NORTH);
getContentPane().add(notFocused, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
pack();
setResizable(false);
addWindowListener(new GrabFocusWindowAdapter(focused));
}
