JWindow Close when focus lost

I have a borderless JWindow that has multiple components inside of it.
I would like the window to close when someone clicks outside of the window.
"whenFocusLost" does not work, clicking on components inside the window also fires this event.
What technique should I be using?
thanks,
-brillo

I would like the window to close when someone clicks outside of the window.Is this window the only visible component when shown? Or do you have a visible GUI before and after the window is shown?
If the latter, I would suggest using a JPopupMenu, for which this is the default behavior.

JTable discards input when focus lost

Hi! Im running Java 1.4.2-b28.
Problem as follows:
I have a JTable where the user can enter som data.
I also have a button with the caption "Minimize" that starts processing of the same data.
If i enter a value into the table (say "foo") and press "Minimize" when the cell is in editing mode, "foo" is NOT SAVED into the JTable's TableModel! getValueAt(int row, int col) returns an old value instead!
How can i change the focus lost behaviour on the cell? Is this a bug??

Focus lost when a popup menu is activated...

It seems that when a popup menu is activated the component invoker lost focus. this is ugly because a focus lost can trigger unexpected events (formatting, validating, etc). how can I avoid this?
thanx

I must seem a bit weird being the only one to reply to my posts, but I found what is occuring, is that when I do the mouse click the InputVerifier for that JTextField is firing. This is causing a problem, because this input verifier pops up a dialog saying please enter correct values ... and then highlights the entire text field. Problem is if the input is currently invalid I can't use the mouse.
Any ideas?

Focus Lost on Tree Cell Edit

I am trying to force changes made in a tree cell edit when focus to that tree node has been lost(like on an enter button press) but it always reverts to the old value. i have tried adding a CellEditorListener to force an enter key press on the editingCanceled action but this still reverts the value.
Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?
Thanks.

You will have to purchase the newest iLife in the boxed set to get the latest version of iDVD. Or you can try using some other DVD burning software such as Roxio's Toast. Look for it and others at MacUpdate or CNET Downloads

Feature Request: Microsoft Excel 2013 - Don't hide status bar text on focus lost (AVERAGE, COUNT, SUM)

Could you please disable hiding of status bar text on focus lost.
I use this in Excel 2013, where I select a few cells, then move to another Excel to write the sum of those cells as read from the status bar or to check with other values in the second window. This really makes my life easier and I see no reason to hide
the status bar text when the window looses focus.

Focus Lost on Panel

I need to be able to trap when focus is lost from a JPanel. How do I go about this?

Would "requestFocus()", or "grabFocus()" not work? In my panels if I wish to keep it focussed on I just write "requestFocus();" at the beginning of a method that is consistently called, of course, I could be doing somethign wrong anyway, but it works for me.

Focus Lost - Sticky Cursor

Hi folks,
When using 10gRel2 we get a lot of 'focus lost' problems. I read all threads here and in metalink; this problem is a very serious one and in some cases hard to reproduce. at least 10 different situation causes different focus lost situations.
Oracle has concentrated that issue in the base bug 5358366.
The fix for the focus lost problems will be implemented in JRE 1.5.0_9 which is currently not available at SUN. Nevertheless, has anybody received that internal version for testing? What's your experience?
Thanks, werner

Hi kndwds,
Would be very interested in sharing some information re your Focus Lost question. We have had very similar issues in all versions of Forms (and occassionally have managed to create test cases) resulting in a number of patches. In 10.1.2 and the Sun JVM, the issue is very much worse, but currently we can not reproduce a repeatable test case.
I have reviewed all the bugs, but this does not provide much meaningful information.
Can you provide any update on the situation with your TAR, and if at all possible, full details of the test case that you have been able to provide.
Any help much appreciated.
Regards
Marc Ludwig

Preventing Focus Lost

I am trying to stop a focus lost on a JTextField. I was not able to find anything on this in the Forum or searching.
Basically, I want to prevent a user from leaving a text field when the data is invalid, so focus lost should only be granted when valid.
I tried overriding .transferFocus(), but of course you can just click on another component.
I did find something that works at times, but is very dangerous. I added a focus listener and did something like this:
            public void focusLost(FocusEvent e)
                try
                {                    Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getSystemEventQueue().getNextEvent();
                catch (InterruptedException ex){}
                requestFocus();
            }Calling this will remove the focus gained event after the focus lost and .requestFocus() can be called to regain focus.
Anyone have any ideas?

Check out the InputVerifier class.
Or, you can also use a [url http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/components/generaltext.html#filter]Document Filter to prevent invalid character from being entered the the text field.
Or, you can use a JFormattedTextField.

JTable Focus Lost

Hi All,
I have a JTable with 6 columns and the last column has a button attached called EXPAND.
Also I have another navigation buttons called Next, Back, Save and Refresh.
Whenever I make changes to the cell and then click on the expand button of the 6th column, it saves my changes.
but when i make changes to the cell and then click some where else (other than on the JTable) ...here for example on the Refresh button ...and then click on the expand button on JTable, I could not save my changes ...
i.e. it is not invoking my focusLost ...Is there any work around for this problem ...
I am posting my focus Lost code :
public void focusLost(FocusEvent e) {
if (jTable.getSelectedColumn() >= 0) {
if (jTable.getColumnName(jTable.getSelectedColumn()).equalsIgnoreCase("Expand")) {
saveData();
Many Thanks
Mahesh

try tableChange Listener, something like this
class TableListener
       implements TableModelListener {
      private JTable table;
      public TableListener(JTable table) {
      this.table = table;
      public void tableChanged(TableModelEvent e) {
         int editRow = table.getEditingRow();
         String value = table.getValueAt(editRow, 1).toString();
         if (e.getType() == TableModelEvent.UPDATE) {
            save();

VI front panel won't close when it's done executing, when this vi was called by reference.

I've created a simple vi set to demonstrate the issue I'm having. I'm dynamically launching sub vi's from a main application. Simply put the main application is my test exec and the subvi's I'm calling dynamically are different tests. In the example I'm posting here the test vi is called Electrical Test 1.vi. I've configured this Electrical Test 1.vi to show front panel when called and close afterwards if originally closed. Problem is it won't close the front.
Other things to keep in mind
I want to be able to launch the test vi and not wait till it's done.
I'm using LabVIEW 2012 SP1.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Basically the close after call only matters if the VI is called as a subVI (just like if you open a VI yourself and run it, it doesn't close when it is done). The two ways around this are to either have your top lvl app close the VI when it is done, this is explained here:
http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/987B2026B41BD39786256CF800032E8C
or to have your VI close itself when it is done. Use a This VI reference and the Front Panel:Close invoke node.
Hope this helps.

Hello there, ytnoj.
Uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes can be a tricky endeavor and must be done in a very specific way. The following Knowledge Base article provides the step-by-step of the process:
