Preventing a window of getting the focus

Hi,
I am pretty new to Java and at the moment I have a pretty big problem with the focus. Is it possible to prevent a window from getting the focus? I.e. an application has some kind of "properties" popup. So I don't want to make it impossible for the main window to get the focus until the user closes the "property"-window...
some hint or even example code would be great!

When you open your properties window you could call setEnabled(false) on the frame that should not be able to get focus and call setEnabled(true) when the user closes the properties window. You will have to pass a reference to the frame to the properties window so that the window can then do yourFrame.setEnabled(false) when it's being closed.

Setting focus outside a control when no other control can get the focus

Hello
I'd like to know if there is a way to setfocus outside of a control even if there is no other control to receive the focus.
I have an editbox that has the focus (active) and I want to set visible to false to this control., but I cannot since it has the focus and there is no other controls that can get the focus.
As a temporary measure I've added another editbox that I moved outside of the visible interface to which I've moved the focus. But I would like to know the proper way to do this.
Thank you for your help.

I think you are asking how to bring a windows form to the front.
If not I apologize...
The way I have done this:
1. I created a new thread.
2. I maxmized the window
I set the following properties:
ShowInTaskbar = False
TopMost = True
Focus()
BringToFront()
In all my testing I needed the window to be maximized, if it wasn't B1 stayed on top.

Popup - how to get the focus in a specific compent

Hi,
I am trying to get the focus of my pop-up in the second component.
Use case: New button in the table shows a popup to get the input from the user. There is a Undo Edit link (top-left) to discard changes, on top of the pop-up so by default the focus goes to the top left. I have input text boxes under that. And I am trying to get the focus (mouse cursor) in the first input text box rather than the undo Edit link. Any idea to implement that without using javascript ?

             var input1 = document.getElementById('pt1:r1:3:pt1:it1::content'); // the complete id of the inputText - change it according to your jsff.. use firebug to get the proper id
             if(input1!=null)

An yet you keep getting suggestions of how to set the focus. I looked through the API documentation and I don't see anything that would suggest you can request to see where the current focus is. Perhaps someone might still come along with a solution, but my hopes wouldn't be too high at this point. I can pass the requirement onto Product Definition, as the use case does seem interesting. Perhaps it is something we have even considered in the past.
But for now, there might be a better way to solve your problem. It will probably mean redesign the interaction. What exactly are your requirements? Do you need to be able to get the data in a particular cell of table when a button is clicked? Just throwing out some ideas here, but maybe just use the lead selection to select the row, but then have a button choice to choose the action associated with the column you want. A hack for sure - but it might work. Also it doesn't help you right now, but in the near future update to NetWeaver 7.0, WDA does have a onColSelect event for the table.

How to get the focus of particular UI Element

Hi All,
How to get the focus of particular UI Element in webdynpro Page,
I have a page where i am creating a ALV, I want to get that keyboard focus is on that element is there or not?
Can anyone please give some update?
Best regards,
Rohit

I would suggest try invoking REFRESH of ALV on the ON_CELL_ACTION event.
Below excerpt is from Thomas
The Events of inner UI elements are not exposed directly as they normally would be if they were standalone. Generally you can capture them using either the
ON_DATA_CHECK:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp1/helpdata/en/c8/6c80dbedfe42d1a93f8e6df1d7244a/frameset.htm
This gets trigger for any press of ENTER, so it generally works like the Input Field onEnter.
You could also consider ON_CELL_ACTION:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp1/helpdata/en/45/12093591152464e10000000a1553f7/frameset.htm
It is a higher level Event that encompasses both ON_DATA_CHECK and ON_CLICK.
if you want to capture & refresh on some hot key combination then refer to this thread

Hello,
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. <br>
'''Note''': ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions and some Preferences.''
*Open websites will not be saved in Firefox versions lower than 25.
To Reset Firefox do the following:
'''For Firefox versions previous to 29.0:'''
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox"[[Image:Button reset]] button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
'''For Firefox 29.0 and above:'''
#Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Troubleshooting Information''.
Now, a new tab containing your troubleshooting information should open.
#At the top right corner of the page, you should see a button that says "Reset Firefox"[[Image:Button reset]]. Click on it.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.

Every time i try to install itunes on my laptop for windows i get the message''key not valid for use in specified state'' any clue? '

every time i try to install itunes on my laptop for windows i get the message''key not valid for use in specified state'' any clue?

For "Key not valid for use in specified state" errors try moving the folder RSA from C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA to say C:\<User>\RSA (just in case there should be a need to restore it) then try installing again. This folder appears to act as a cache and should be rebuilt automatically as required.
For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

HT1925 I am having an issue with loading Itunes. I receive a missing dll file notice. Then another error message. I have reinstalled Windows & still get the error. I did not get the error until I recently did an ITunes update.

I am having an issue with ITunes after a recent ITunes update. I can not open ITunes, I get a message missing MSVCR80.dll file, Then an error 7 message. I have redone the OS for Windows 7 and restarted the computer. I keep getting the errors.

Do the following:
Uninstall from Windows the following five programs: iTunes, Apple Software Update, Apple Mobile Device Support, Bonjour and Apple Application Support. You do this from an applet in Control Panel called Programs & Features (in Windows 8, 7, or Vista) or Add or Remove Programs (in Windows XP).
Download the latest version of iTunes from Apple and note the location you're saving it to so you can find it once it's done.
Run the iTunes installation as an administrator, just Right click iTunes installer and Run as Administrator.

Get the focus on applet again if user switches between applications

hi,
How to set the focus on applet which runs in a browser(IE5.x) if user goes to another application and come back to the same applet. I am using JRE1.4 i have tryed it with using aapletname.requestFocus() in javascript but it looks requestFocus() has some problems.
window.onfocus =document.helloApplet.requestFocus();
or
<script>
function activated()
document.helloApplet.requestFocus();
return true;
</script>
<body LEFTMARGIN=0 TOPMARGIN=0 onFocus = activated();>
<OBJECT name="helloApplet" classid="clsid:CA......................
Any suggestions
Thanks

public void start()
Called by the browser or applet viewer to inform this applet that it should start its execution. It is called after the init method and each time the applet is revisited in a Web page.
I can't invoke init method as it is called once only.So it won't help

JRadioButton not getting the Focus Back

Hi,
I am having a problem with the RadioButtons. I have a panel and have three radio buttons belonging to a group. I have selected the third button and saved it to the database. When I came back to the panel, I have the third button selected.But the focus( Rectangle around the text) is on the first button. If I click on the third button then the focus came to the third button. I tried using requestFocus() but its not at all working. Some one please help me asap.
Example of Code...
if(selButton =1)
rb1.setSelected(true);
else if(selButton = 2)
rb2.setSelected(true);
else
rb3.setSelected(true);
TIA,
CK

Did you try:
if(selButton =1) {
rb1.setSelected(true);
rb1.requestFocuse();
} else if(selButton = 2) {
rb2.setSelected(true);
rb2.requestFocuse();
} else {
rb3.setSelected(true);
rb3.requestFocuse();
}Doesn't work ?
