Removing all tab key events

Hallo all,
I am having another problem with my JTables. Because our customer doesn't want to get out of JTable via Ctrl+TAB we have customized the TAB Key behaviour and it skips to the following component and it is fine. But if I go to a cell via TAB key (for example cell(3,4)) and if I select another component above via mouse button and go through the table via TAB key it focuses on the cell (4,4) instead of cell(0,0). How can I solve this problem? How can I refresh or remove the key listeners of the Table after I left the table via mouse? Can anyone help me?

(Untested, and there may be a better approach)
I would try adding a FocusListener and in the focusLost, something liketable.getSelectionModel().clearSelection();
table.getColumnModel().getSelectionModel().clearSelection();luck, db
edit No that didin't do it. Try this one:table.setRowSelectionInterval(0, 0);
table.setColumnSelectionInterval(0, 0);Edited by: Darryl.Burke

  • Is there a way to completely disable tabs (removing all tab related menu options) for firefox 10?

    Is there a way to completely disable tabs (removing all tab related menu options) for firefox 10. I hate tabs and recent changes to the menus make incorrect selection of 'open in new tab' when what I want is 'open in new window' a common and unwelcome occurrence.

    You can hide menu items and move them up / down in the menu with the Menu Editor extension. <br />

  • Tab key event not fired in JTabbedPane

    Hello,
    I wanted to add the functionality of moving between tabs when Ctrl+Tab is pressed like Windows tabs.
    But the tab key listener event is not getting fired by pressing Tab. For all the other key pushes it is working good. It this a problem with Java? Any workarounds?
    Here is the sample code:
    import javax.swing.*;
    import java.awt.*;
    import java.awt.event.*;
    public class TestTab extends JFrame
         public void drawGUI()
              //getContentPane().setLayout(new GridLayout(1, 1));
              JTabbedPane lTabbedPane = new JTabbedPane();
              JPanel lFirstPanel = new JPanel();
              lFirstPanel.add(new JLabel("First Panel"));;
              JPanel lSecondPanel = new JPanel();
              lSecondPanel.add(new JLabel("Second Panel"));;
              lTabbedPane.addTab("Tab1", null, lFirstPanel, "Does nothing");
              lTabbedPane.addTab("Tab1", null,lSecondPanel, "Does nothing");
              getContentPane().add(lTabbedPane);
              lTabbedPane.addKeyListener(new KeyAdapter()
                   public void keyPressed(KeyEvent lKeyEvent)
                        System.out.println(lKeyEvent.getKeyText(lKeyEvent.getKeyCode()));
              setDefaultCloseOperation(WindowConstants.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
         public static void main(String[] args)
              TestTab lTestTab = new TestTab();
              lTestTab.drawGUI();
              lTestTab.setSize(200, 200);
              lTestTab.setVisible(true);

    The KeyPressed events for TAB and CTRL-TAB are typically consumed by the KeyboardFocusManager for component traversal. What you have to do is adjust traversal keys and add CTRL-TAB as an action of your JTabbedPane. This is usually done with the InputMap/ActionMap, not a KeyListener:
    import java.awt.*;
    import java.awt.event.*;
    import java.util.*;
    import javax.swing.*;
    public class X {
        public static void main(String[] args) {
            Set tabSet = Collections.singleton(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_TAB, 0));
            KeyStroke ctrlTab = KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_TAB, InputEvent.CTRL_DOWN_MASK);
            final int FORWARD = KeyboardFocusManager.FORWARD_TRAVERSAL_KEYS;
            final JTabbedPane tp = new JTabbedPane();
            //setFocusTraversalKeys to remove ctrl-tab as a forward gesture
            tp.setFocusTraversalKeys(FORWARD, tabSet);
            for (int i=0; i<6; ++i) {
                JPanel p = new JPanel(new GridLayout(0,1));
                JTextArea area = new JTextArea();
                area.setFocusTraversalKeys(FORWARD, Collections.EMPTY_SET);
                p.add(new JScrollPane(area));
                area = new JTextArea();
                area.setFocusTraversalKeys(FORWARD, Collections.EMPTY_SET);
                p.add(new JScrollPane(area));
                tp.addTab("tab " + i,p);
            //add ctrlTab as an action to move to next tab
            Action nextTab = new AbstractAction("nextTab") {
                public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent evt) {
                    int idx = tp.getSelectedIndex();
                    if (idx != -1) {
                        idx = (idx + 1) % tp.getTabCount();
                        tp.requestFocusInWindow();
                        tp.setSelectedIndex(idx);
            InputMap im = tp.getInputMap(JComponent.WHEN_ANCESTOR_OF_FOCUSED_COMPONENT);
            im.put(ctrlTab, nextTab.getValue(Action.NAME));
            tp.getActionMap().put(nextTab.getValue(Action.NAME), nextTab);
            JFrame f= new JFrame("X");
            f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
            f.getContentPane().add(tp);

  • Shift+Tab Key Event

    Hallo all,
    I have a big problem ;) I am having JTables and these Jtables must lose their focus when someone clicks on Shift+TAB at the (0,0) th of its cell. I tried to do it in a key event but it doesn't accept my solution. Here is a code chunk:
    AWTEvent currentEvent = EventQueue.getCurrentEvent();
    if( currentEvent instanceof KeyEvent)
            KeyEvent ke = (KeyEvent)currentEvent;
                if(ke.getSource()!=this)
                    return;
                if(rowIndex==getModel().getRowCount()-1 && columnIndex==getModel().getColumnCount()-1
                        && KeyStroke.getKeyStrokeForEvent(ke).equals(shiftTabKeyStroke)){
                    KeyboardFocusManager.getCurrentKeyboardFocusManager().focusPreviousComponent();
                    return;
                }So when I compile it, it makes a return to its 0,0 th cell instead of giving focus on the previous component.

    DB means to say this.
    AWTEvent currentEvent = EventQueue.getCurrentEvent();
    if( currentEvent instanceof KeyEvent)
            KeyEvent ke = (KeyEvent)currentEvent;
                if(ke.getSource()!=this)
                    return;
                if(rowIndex==getModel().getRowCount()-1 && columnIndex==getModel().getColumnCount()-1
                        && KeyStroke.getKeyStrokeForEvent(ke).equals(shiftTabKeyStroke)){
                      SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable(){
                          public void run()
                                 KeyboardFocusManager.getCurrentKeyboardFocusManager().focusPreviousComponent();                         
                    return;
                }

  • Windows updates removes all tabs and tab groups so I have to regularly do a system restore to get them back.

    When there is an automatic update from Windows or Microsoft Security Essentials, it regularly has removed all my tabs and tab groups. A very frustrating occurance so I have to do a system restore to get all these back. Any solutions to this issue?

    After your computer restarts, you should be able to choose '''[[Session Restore|"Restore Previous Session" from Firefox's History menu]]''' to restore all your tabs and groups from last time.
    For this to work, Firefox must be set to remember history in the [[Options window - Privacy panel]].

  • How to handle Shift+Tab key event

    Can any one please give me suggestion how can I do it
    Thanks & Regards

    i dont know about Key BindingsWhich is why you where given a link to the tutorial in the first response.
    can you please give me suggestion.You've been given the suggestion 3 times. You can decide to learn to write code the way other Swing components are written. Or, you can do it the old way. The choice is up to you.

  • Handling keyTyped events in JTable for TAB key

    In my app, I have a JTable. Some columns are non-editable.
    I have attached a keyListener to the table and have overridden keyTyped() and keyReleased() methods.
    In keyReleased(), I do something depending on the key code. For example: if its the VK_DELETE, I delete the row. If its some other user configured key, then I show a popup dialog where the user can enter some data, etc...
    In keyTyped(), I first check if the column is one of the specific columns. Then I get the keyChar. After this, I show a dialog and pre-populate a JTextField on this dialog with that keyChar.
    My issue is that 'TAB' key events arrive in keyTyped() and not in keyReleased(). As a result, the dialog is shown and the tab takes place inside the JTextfield which is incorrect.
    I would like to ignore TAB keyTyped events. When I look up the keyCode in keyTyped() method, it is 0. So there is no way for me to tell what key was typed.
    How can I ignore TAB events in my keyTyped() method?
    thx

    I now do the following to determine if TAB key has been typed
    public void keyTyped(KeyEvent e) {
    char c = e.getKeyChar();
    if (c == KeyEvent.VK_TAB) {
    Is this correct ?

  • How to alter behaviour of pressing enter key to tab key?

    Hi! I want to alter the behaviour when pressing the enter key so it acts like pressing the tab key in a JTextField. That is pressing the enter key will transfer the cursor to the next field instead of the cursor just staying in the current field.
    Thanks in advance.
    rralilin

    Hi,
    there are more than one way to do this:
    1. use an ActionListener and transfer the focus in its actionPerformed(...) method - good for one or a few JTextFields - if there are more, try ...
    2. prelisten the key events via the new KeyboardFocusManager und replace the corresponding key event by a Tab-key-event and redispatch it - this approach enables you, to handle this new behavior for all JTextFields in one central position - possible since JDK 1.4
    Hope, this helps
    greetings Marsian

  • Problem in Tab Keys

    Hi
    I am trying to write a KeyListener that can detect when the tab key is pressed within a JTextField. The Listener detects all keys accept the tab key. It seems that some lower level method is consuming the key before it get to my listener.
    My application needs to put up a dialog if the tabs out of the text field.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi,
    Yes, there is a lower-level method that dispatches all events generated from a component and sends the events to the appropriate listener for that component.
    You need to subclass JTextField and override processKeyEvent(KeyEvent key). Any type of key event generated from this component, this method will dispatch the event to all of this components key listeners, so there will be some processing that blocks the TAB key.We can override the method and perform our own processing, and then call super.processKeyEvent(KeyEvent) to handle all other key events other than TAB.
    Try the below code this showa how to catch the TAB key .
    class CustomTextField extends JTextField {
    public CustomTextField( int c){
    super(c);
    protected void processKeyEvent(KeyEvent ke){
    if( ke.getKeyCode() == KeyEvent.VK_TAB)
    System.out.println("TAB");
    //you must call this!!
    super.processKeyEvent( ke);
    Hope this will help you.

  • Field validation with Tab Key

    I am writing an application in which I must validate the data a user enters into a textfield when the user presses the "Tab" key. I have added a KeyListener to the textfield and when this java code is run as an applet the KeyListener catches the Tab key and all works fine. When I run this as an application, the Tab key does not seem to be caught at all by the Key Listener.
    Has anybody else had this problem on the IPAQ, if so, do you know a solution.
    Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

    I've been having this problem as well. I have created my applet using Visual Cafe 3 (Java 1.1). When I run this in Jeode it work great, Personal java works great, MSVM works great, but when I try to run using Sun Plugin 1.4.2_02 the tab key events are never fired.
    Does anybody have a solution for this? Unfortunately, we are stuck developing with an older version of Java because of Visual Cafe.
