how i must set the focus?
Any help is appreciated

You need not use requestFocusInWindow to set the focus for a component. You can simple use requestFocus() inorder to set the focus.Please read the API and don't post bad advice.
JComponent#requestFocus
Note that the use of this method is discouraged because its behavior is platform dependent. Instead we recommend the use of requestFocusInWindow(). If you would like more information on focus, see [How to Use the Focus Subsystem|http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/misc/focus.html], a section in The Java Tutorial.

How to set alignment in a TextField?

I need to set allignment of the text in a TextField to right. There is no such under TextField.
Anybody knows how to set alignment in a textfield in javaFX 2.0 ?
Thanks

It may be worth filing a feature request jira to get platform native support for this.
You might think that textField.setStyle("-fx-text-alignment: right;") would work, but it does not.
I guess that the -fx-text-alignment css property only right aligns multi-line text, not text within a text field.
The following code uses binding to keep Text in a TextField right aligned.
The translations place the text visually right and keyboard editing is OK.
Mouse transparency is enabled because mouse based selections still act as though the text is left aligned.
So it's not a complete solution.
public void start(final Stage stage) throws Exception {
// create a text field.
final TextField textField = new TextField("This is right aligned text");
textField.setStyle("-fx-text-alignment: right;");
textField.setMinWidth(400);
textField.setMouseTransparent(true);
// layout the scene.
final VBox layout = new VBox();
layout.setStyle("-fx-background-color: cornsilk; -fx-padding: 10; -fx-alignment: center;");
layout.getChildren().addAll(textField);
Scene scene = new Scene(layout);
stage.setScene(scene);
stage.show();
// keep the text in the textbox right aligned.
final Text text = (Text) textField.lookup("Text");
rightAlign(text, textField);
textField.textProperty().addListener(new InvalidationListener() {
@Override public void invalidated(Observable observable) {
rightAlign(text, textField);
private void rightAlign(Text text, TextField textField) {
text.getParent().translateXProperty().bind(textField.widthProperty().subtract(text.xProperty().multiply(2)).subtract(text.getLayoutBounds().getWidth()));
}

Hallo Praveen,
have you controlled that id of the Linktoaction ? there you made error.
See it in the ViewElement designer .
should be something like this
lr_elem = view->get_element( 'LTA_name ' ).

How to set focus on a input field in a selected row of a table?

In a previous discussion (http://scn.sap.com/thread/3564789) I asked how to access an input (sap.m.Input) field of a selected row in a table. In the answer that was supplied I was shown how to get the items of the table. Then using the selected index to get the selected item get the cells. Then I could set editable on the proper cell(s). This worked fine.
Now I need to set the focus on one of the fields. I tried something like this:
            var oNewLink = table.getSelectedItem();
            var oNewLinkName = oNewLink.getCells()[1];
            oNewLinkName.focus();
But this doesn't seem to work.
I have searched through other discussions and have seen this technique for putting focus on a field if you have its ID:
sap.ui.getCore().byId(id_of_the_input_field).$().focus();
In my case though I do not have an ID since the row and its cells are generated. How can I set focus on the cell of a certain row in a table?

Hello Venkatesh. Yes that code does work. First I tried it on a table cell that was already rendered and it did work. The next time I tried it on a table row that was being added and it did not work there. So I added an on after rendering function for the table and added that code there. That did not work until I added a delay (timeout) to do a context switch before calling the focus and that worked.
Once last thing though sometimes when I call focus on an input field (actually in a table row cell) if the field has text in it already the flashing cursor is at the beginning of the text and other times it is at the end of the text (which is the desired way). It depends on where I click in the row. Is there anyway to make sure the flashing cursor is at the end of the text when the focus is applied to a field that contains text?

How to set focus on the title of JTabbedPane

I have created a JTabbedPane and added three JPanels to it. They are titled, say "Panel 1", "Panel 2" and "Panel 3". And each of them contains buttons and text areas. Since this app is for physically disabled users, it must provide navigation through these three tabs with keyboard operations only (i.e. without mouse clicks).
When the title "Panel 1" gets focused, users can go to "Panel 2" by the right arrow key. When Panel 2 is brought up, however, the title "Panel 2" does not get focused. Instead the first button inside panel 2 is focused. In order for users to navigate to 'Panel 3" by the arrow key, the title "Panel 2" has to be focused. How do I set focus on the tab title?
I have tried 'requestFocus()' on Panel 2, but it does not work. Please help me with this issue. Thanks in advance.

I'd be quite interested to know if this can be doen as well so I thought I'd post this message to move it to the top of the board.
Thanks.

How to set focus on a custom PO Item screen field when in error?

Hi All,
I have an interesting situation that i'm wondering if others have solved. We have extended the PO item table (EKPO) by adding two new fields. We then have implemented two BAdI's: ME_GUI_PO_CUST and ME_PROCESS_PO_CUST to add them to the ME21N/ME22N/ME23N screens and logic to do some validation, via these respective BAdI's mentioned. Everything works perfectly - with one small issue. When we are doing some validation via a method on the ME_PROCESS_PO_CUST - and "invalidate" the field (and throw an error) when it is in error - I also want to be able to "set focus" on the field in question (basically: go to the particular tab on the ME* screen and highlight the field). I have tried using SET CURSOR FIELD ***** within this BAdI (ME_PROCESS_PO_CUST) - but doesn't seem to work. Has anyone tried to do this and have come up with a solution? Would be much appreciative if you shared it!!! Thanks much.
Cheers,
Matt

Just have a look at oss note 310154 - ME21N/ME51N: Customer-specific check, generating error log.
In short:
Add your error messages in EXIT_SAPMM06E_012 (using specific macros).

    loop at tekkn where ebeln eq tekpo-ebeln and
                        ebelp eq tekpo-ebelp and
                        kostl eq space.
      if not tekkn-id is initial.

How to set width of a TextField ?

Hi all,
I want to use Polish in my javaME code , so I add //#style style_name before calls of constructor TextField.
The problem is that when I run the application then the textfield is very small in width ! And when I try to enter a value inside then a big textarea is shown in the screen in which I enter the value ; and after that I click the "Ok" command item and I finally return to my form.
I use a polish.css file to define the style.
So how to set a width for a TextField ?
Thank you very much indeed

never mind. I forgot a line in my layout manager.

How to set focus and mark red on certain select option field

hi experts
I embedded a select_option view in my application and tried to use IF_WD_SELECT_OPTIONS->request_focus to set focus on a certain select option field if the logical check failed, and also hope the low field of the select option can be marked red....but things does not happen that way....
could anyone kindly tell me how to implement that requirement?
tkx and regards
sun

What is the problem you are facing in this ?
Requesting focus is easy.
just call the method request focus and pass the id of the parameter whose lower value field you want to focus.
as shown below.
code you might have written in wddoinit
DATA: LT_RANGE_TABLE TYPE REF TO DATA,
        RT_RANGE_TABLE TYPE REF TO DATA,
        READ_ONLY TYPE ABAP_BOOL,
        TYPENAME TYPE STRING.
    DATA: LR_COMPONENTCONTROLLER TYPE REF TO IG_COMPONENTCONTROLLER,
        L_REF_CMP_USAGE TYPE REF TO IF_WD_COMPONENT_USAGE.
*   * create the used component
L_REF_CMP_USAGE = WD_THIS->WD_CPUSE_SELECT_OPTIONS( ).
IF L_REF_CMP_USAGE->HAS_ACTIVE_COMPONENT( ) IS INITIAL.
    L_REF_CMP_USAGE->CREATE_COMPONENT( ).
ENDIF.
    WD_THIS->M_WD_SELECT_OPTIONS = WD_THIS->WD_CPIFC_SELECT_OPTIONS( ).
    WD_THIS->M_HANDLER = WD_THIS->M_WD_SELECT_OPTIONS->INIT_SELECTION_SCREEN( ).
LT_RANGE_TABLE = WD_THIS->M_HANDLER->CREATE_RANGE_TABLE( I_TYPENAME = 'ZDEALERID' ).
* * add a new field to the selection
WD_THIS->M_HANDLER->ADD_SELECTION_FIELD( I_ID = 'ID'
IT_RESULT = LT_RANGE_TABLE I_READ_ONLY = READ_ONLY ).
code for focusing a field.
wd_this->m_handler->request_focus( i_id = 'ID' ).
you must have declared attributes m_handler and m_wd_select_options type reffering to IF_WD_SELECT_OPTIONS and
IWCI_WDR_SELECT_OPTIONS respectively.
and regarding that red color i am not sure it is possible without using message manager.
thanks

How to set focus on invisible input field?

Hi Guys,
I need an invisible input field and have to set an input focus on it. My problem is that if I set input fields property visible=blank, I get my invisible field BUT the function call doesnt work (setInput.requestFocus()).
I suppose that I cant set a focus if an input field is invisible.
Does somebody know how can I solve my problem? Is there a possibility to do this input field invisible with java script? If yes, how does it work in Web Dynpro?
Thanks
Marita

Hi
Setting a focus on invisible input field will not work even if you follow the method what sowjanya has suggested. The method wdThis.wdGetAPI().requestFocus() will not work for read-only and disabled fields.
By the way why do you want to set the focus on a invisible input field. If you can tell us the requirement maybe we could think of an alternate solution. But i guess for the current scenario setting focus on invisible input field does not work.

How to set FOCUS on applet (java-plugin)

I wrote applet using Java 1.3.1, using swing clasess.
I use java-plugin, defined in <object ..> and <embed ..> tags as described in documentation,
with MAYSCRIPT parameter and ID and NAME parameters defined.
How to set up focus on this applet through JavaScript?
I have tried:
document.embeds[0].focus()
document.applets.MyApplet.focus()
document.objects.MyApplet.focus()
document.objects[0].focus()
document.MyApplet.focus()
But nothing works in my IE5.x or NC4.7. Applet itself works fine.
Is some special methods need to be defined in JApplet to catch the focus?
Thanks for any advice.

Thanks for any advice.With IE you should try the following:
<OBJECT id='MyApplet' ...
document.MyApplet.requestFocus();
This worked fine for me, even without specifying additional "MAYSCRIPT" or "scriptable=true" tags. Obviously this construct managed to call the public Java method "requestFocus()" from JavaScript.
Maybe something similar would also work for Netscape. I felt no need to do this when running in Netscape, because the Netscape browser handled focus management without problems.
For IE I tried to workaround a problem mentioned by several people in this forum: The focus will not be regained by an applet when the user switched form IE to another application and then returns back to the browser window which contains the applet.
Unfortunally the following code fragment worked only partially well:
function activated()
if (isIE)
document.MyApplet.requestFocus();
return true;
window.onfocus = activated();
OnFocus is invoked only each second time when the browser window gains back focus.
I'm still looking for a real solution, so I'd appreciate if anybody could come up with one.
Hope this helps a bit
