JDesktop automatically get focus

Question

I have a JDesktop with many different classes of JInternalFrames. when the user clicks a JButton in frame#1 and then wants to click a JButton in frame#2, the user must obtain focus on frame#2 and then only after obtaining focus can the user click the jbutton in that frame. basically, unless the user has been "working" in this particular frame, the first time he does something he must "double click"
What is my solution around this? here is what i want:
if a user clicks any X,Y point on the JDesktop and that X,Y point happens to be the location of a JInternalFrame, then it would be the same as if the user already had focus to the frame and clicked that area.
I tried to do some code like this for the JDesktop:
public class myFrame extends JFrame {
JDesktopPane myDesktop;
myFrame() {
myDesktop = new JDesktopPane();
getContentPane().add(myDesktop, BorderLayout.Center)
this.addMouseMotionListener(new DesktopListener(this));
private class DesktopListener implements MouseMotionListener {
JFrame parent;
public DesktopListener(JFrame frame) {
parent = frame;
public void mouseDragged(MouseEvent e) {}
public void mouseMoved(MouseEvent e) {
// OKAY HERE IS WHERE I AM STUCK
Okay, i am stuck on what to do with mouseMoved() of the motionlistener. i know i can e.getX() and e.getY(), but how do to:
1) determine if that coordinate is actually a JInternalFrame
2) give the JInternalFrame focus at that coordinate focus
and 3) is this the best solution to do what i am trying to accomplish? i am trying to avoid forcing the user to obtain frame focus when clicking components in a frame. i dont necessary want to bring the JInternalFrame to the front, i just want to avoid having to click to get focus
thanks

Answer 1

I implemented your approach, which definitely makes good sense. i ran into two problems:
1) it only fires the event when the mouse is on the border. if i move the mouse slowly into the internalframe, the event will probably fire. but if i move quickly into the frame, then it never fires. if i put the mouse on the border and stay there for a second, it will always fire.
2) it brings the internalframe to the front. if the internalframe is covered by another frame, i would prefer that it doesnt come to the front, but just gets the focus.
any ideas?
Maybe you should try a different approach:
try adding a MouseMotionListener to the internalframes
which will do this.
//jdp is an instance of JDesktopPane
MouseMotionAdapter  mma=new MouseMotionAdapter()
public void mouseMoved(MouseEvent me)
JInternalFrame
rnalFrame jif=(JInternalFrame)me.getSource();
jdp.getDesktopManager().activateFrame(jif);
JInternalFrame jif=new JInternalFrame("whatever");
jif.addMouseMotionListener(mma);I belive it should work well.
p.s.
what do you mean
(parent.getContentPane().getComponentAt(e.getX(),e.getY
))); did not work?
if you do not want my approach check what does that
function return to you.
