I would suggest not to use JWindow but JPopupMenu! In
the JPopupMenu you can add any swing-components!
You can show the Popup in focusGained (ok, that is
not so user-friendly, in my opinion a shortcut would
do better!).
The Popup will hide automatically if you click with
the mouse somewhere else or hit escape.Thank you for the reply.
I'm still having problems. I'd prefer not to use a jpopupmenu, because I want to use that for something else. This was just going to be a simple list that would appear near the text field so user could have a list of options to choose from.
Focus gained on the textfield brings up the list. Selecting something on the list clears it (hides). This idea works well on the mac. But on the pc the jwindow keeps hiding behind the main frame ?
I have the following code
The windows is created as follows
     listWindow = new JWindow(SwingUtilities.getWindowAncestor(this));
listWindow.getContentPane().add(pane);
listWindow.setVisible(false);
pane contains the jlist of values
Then the textfield is as follows
textField.addFocusListener(new java.awt.event.FocusAdapter() {
public void focusGained(java.awt.event.FocusEvent evt) {
if (showListWindow) {
if (!listWindow.isVisible()) {
Point los = getLocationOnScreen();
listWindow.setVisible(true);
listWindow.setLocation(los.x +580, los.y +75);
listWindow.pack();
listWindow.toFront();
          textField().requestFocus();
I use a boolean showListWindow to decide when to show. Because I noticed that displaying the jlist and requesting focus to the textfield caused the focusGain to fire again.
Any ideas why the pc keeps the list hidden ? If I move the main frame I can see !
