Tab and Key Listener

I have put a key listener in a JTextField, but when I hit the tab key it does not generate a keyPressed event. Currently tab does nothing not even cycle through GUI components. Can you help me figure ouy how to get it to recognize the tab key.
P.S. The code that is inside the tab block works as I tried it with other keys so that is not the error.

I would search the forums for jtextfield and tab in the title

JTable TAB key listener

Hi all:
I'm trying to write a filterable jtable. User can input the filter rule in the table header and the table displays the filtered data at the same time when the user inputs letters. The table filter works fine. But when I try to add "TAB" key listener, I find that I can't track the "TAB" key. I use a customerized cell renderer to display the filterable table header, a customerized cell editor to edit the filterable table header. The cell editor is created like this:
JTextField textField = new JTextField("");
DefaultCellEditor cellEditor = new DefaultCellEditor(textField);
And I add a KeyListener to the textField. The KeyListener can track other keys like "Shift", "Alt", "Ctrl", but it can't track "TAB". It's weird. I also add the KeyListener to JTableHeader, JTable, but when I edit something in the JTextField, I still can't catch the "TAB" key. Have any ideas? Thank you for your time.

by default the Tab is used (and consumed) by
focusManager to move focus between components. If you
want to get it in a component you have to signal the
manager to keep it's hands off. How to do so depends
on the jdk version. Focus handling changed
considerably between 1.3 and 1.4: Prior to 1.4 you
have to subclass the component in question to return
true on isManagingFocus(), since 1.4 you have to set
the comp's focusTraversalKeys to make the manager take
those instead of the default keys.
Greetings
JeanetteThanks Jeanette, it works. I use the Component.setFocusTraversalKeysEnabled(false) to disable all traversal keys of JTextField and add a KeyEventDispatcher to the KeyboardFocusManager. It finally works. Users can use "TAB" keyStroke and "Shift-TAB" keyStroke to traverse in the filterable table header now. Thank you for your great help and the $$ are yours.

How to use the validation work in Both TAB and Mouse keys in Forms6i

Hi,
I have a validation script once it's validated it should execute the query.But using When-Validate-Item i can't use execute_query.I am able to use the validation in Key-Next-Item trigger but if the user moves the cursor using mouse then it's not working.
How to use the validation script working in Both Scenarios(Tab and Mouse keys).
Can anyone please give inputs to rectify the above issue?.

So you have multiple fields, but on at least one of them if it's valid you immediately want to execute the query?
You could create a hidden field in a control block Query_Now default 'N'. In a WHEN-VALIDATE-ITEM on your item, if it's determined to be valid, then set Query_Now to 'Y'.
In a WHEN-NEW-ITEM-INSTANCE at block level, check if Query_Now is 'Y'. If it is then execute the query (and set it back to 'N').

How to override traversal keys CTL-TAB and CTL-SHIFT-TAB in JSplitpane?

Recently added a JSplitpane to a frame with a number of other panels. One of those panels has two actions triggered by CTL-TAB and CTL-SHIFT-TAB. Since adding the JSplitpane those actions no longer trigger, apparently because JSplitPane is ManagingFocusForwardTraversalKeys and ManagingFocustBackwardTraversalKeys.
I found if I disable the splitpane that the original actions are triggered, but that disables the divider.
What would be the recommended way to change the behavior of a JSplitpane to ignore CTL-TAB and CTL-SHIFT-TAB?
This is a list of things I have tried:
bodySplitPane.getInputMap().remove(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_TAB, InputEvent.CTRL_MASK));
bodySplitPane.getInputMap().remove(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_TAB, InputEvent.CTRL_MASK | InputEvent.SHIFT_MASK));
bodySplitPane.getActionMap().remove("focusOutForward");
bodySplitPane.getActionMap().remove("focusOutBackward");
bodySplitPane.setFocusTraversalKeysEnabled(false); // doesn't work
bodySplitPane.setFocusTraversalKeys(0,new HashSet<KeyStroke>());
bodySplitPane.setFocusTraversalKeys(1,new HashSet<KeyStroke>());
bodySplitPane.enableInputMethods(false);
//bodySplitPane.setEnabled(false); // false allows ctl-tab to pass through but freezes the divider so it can't be moved via mouseThanks in advance.

Found this in the tutorial (http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/misc/keybinding.html) which solved the problem for me:
bodySplitPane.getInputMap(JComponent.WHEN_ANCESTOR_OF_FOCUSED_COMPONENT).put(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_TAB, InputEvent.CTRL_MASK),"none");
bodySplitPane.getInputMap(JComponent.WHEN_ANCESTOR_OF_FOCUSED_COMPONENT).put(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_TAB, InputEvent.CTRL_MASK | InputEvent.SHIFT_MASK),"none");Turns out my left splitpane has no focusable components, but might be that if it did I would have needed to set the action in the other two input maps as well like this:
bodySplitPane.getInputMap(JComponent.WHEN_IN_FOCUSED_WINDOW).put(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_TAB, InputEvent.CTRL_MASK),"none");
bodySplitPane.getInputMap(JComponent.WHEN_IN_FOCUSED_WINDOW).put(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_TAB, InputEvent.CTRL_MASK | InputEvent.SHIFT_MASK),"none");
bodySplitPane.getInputMap(JComponent.WHEN_FOCUSED).put(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_TAB, InputEvent.CTRL_MASK),"none");
bodySplitPane.getInputMap(JComponent.WHEN_FOCUSED).put(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_TAB, InputEvent.CTRL_MASK | InputEvent.SHIFT_MASK),"none"); Contrary to what the tutorial says, "none" seems to work as the action for any of the input maps, and "nil" or any string seems to work. I found no need to define an action class as the tutorial states and the tutorial does not show any use of the action inner class.

Navigate previous record,next record by entering key-up and key-down

Hi ,
JDeveloper11g_
I am trying to solve of how to navigate previous record,next record by entering key-up and key-down in ADF Table.
If any of you have this solution by JScript of Backing Bean please help me.
Thanks

Hi zakir,
I hope I understood your requirements correctly. You have an editable ADF table. You would like to use the up/down arrow keys to move from one row to the next/prev row of the same column. Since the Tab key moves the cursor to the right and Shift+Tab moves it to the left, now you want to implement the same thing but just up and down, correct? If so, try this.
/** Javascript **/
function detectKey(evt) {
 var inputText = evt.getSource();
 var id = inputText.getClientId();
 var start2 = id.indexOf(":") + 1;
 var end2 = id.lastIndexOf(":");
 var numValue = parseInt(id.substring(start2, end2));
 var evt2 = evt.getNativeEvent();
 arrows=((evt2.which)||(evt2.keyCode));
 switch(arrows) {
 // Up arrow
 case 38:
 numValue = numValue - 1;
 break;
 // Down arrow
 case 40:
 numValue = numValue + 1;
 break;
 var newStr = id.replace(/:\d:/, ':' + numValue + ':');
 var comp = AdfPage.PAGE.findComponent(newStr);
 if (comp != undefined) {
 comp.focus();
/** Jspx. (Place a client listener on each inputText in the ADF table) **/
<af:column .....>
<af:inputText value="#{row.bindings.price.inputValue}" .....>
 <af:clientListener type="keyDown" method="detectKey"/>
</af:inputText>
</af:column>With this, you get to move Up/Right/Down/Left in the editable ADF table without using the mouse.

Have you updated iTunes to 11.1.5, because the previous version did appear to have an issue about seeing iPods?
With iTunes 11.1.5 installed, look in Edit/Preferences/Devices, (or use the ALT key, followed by the E key and then the F key) and make sure that the box named Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from syncing automatically does not have a tick in the box.
Once you have doen those two things, check to see if the iPod is seen by iTunes.

I want Firefox to open to my homepage every time after it crashes. I do not want it to return to the tabs and applications that caused the crash. I am willing to lose information. How do I do this?

Firefox crashes or seizes up when there are too many tabs and applications open, and causes my computer to crash or seize up. I use task manager to close Firefox or I restart my computer. Then, when Firefox restarts again, it automatically re-opens all the tabs and applications that caused the computer to seize or crash in first place. This is a waste of my time. I want Firefox to reopen to my homepage even if it crashes. I am willing to lose information to have Firefox reopen to a low-memory homepage. How do I do this?

Set the Integer pref browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes to 0 on the about:config page to get the about:sessionrestore page immediately with the first restart after a crash has occurred or the Task Manager was used to close Firefox.
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes
That will allow you to deselect the tab(s) that you do not want to reopen, but will allow to reopen other tabs.

PM Order, cost and key figures

I have created and configured a new PM planning plant, cost center, work center, pm types and all that usual of PM requirement, but still I think something is missing in in the ingredient because when I try to creat a PM order and assign a bunch of operations with man hours to it, I discovered that there is NO cost and key figures showing...basically the estimated cost show $0.00. In other Plant it shows correct est cost.
Any help will greatly appreciate with rewarding points.
Thanks,
Tim

COst in order operations will get summarised under cost tab as labour/internal cost provided-
1.Activity rate is maintained for activity via KP26 for cost centre
2.Cost center is entered into work centre master data.
3.Value category maintained correctly for cost element group where cost elemnt for internal cost is within this group.
In your case it seems missing link is activity rate maintenace.
Thanks

What happened to my tabs and tab groups when I synced to a new computer?

I have spent the morning trying to sync Firefox. On my previous computer, I was running FF31, but not as a clean install--as an upgrade from FF28. In the Sync screen, I saw my email address and recovery key, so I thought I was good to go.
Turns out that that wasn't the case, and I needed to set up a new Sync account.
Here are the steps I took to get my data back:
1) I uninstalled FF31, reverted to 28, used my email address and recovery key, and got my information back.
2) Then I updated to FF31.
3) In FF31, I unlinked my computer, created a new Sync account, and logged in to sync my data.
However, I was unable to access my tab groups. And when I upgraded to FF31, my tab groups still weren't back.
I tried looking in "Tabs from Other Devices", and there were no other devices listed.
How can I get my tabs and tab groups back? I had literally dozens of hours of work-related research saved in these tabs. I have so many visited sites in my history that there's no way I'd be able to recreate all of them.
Please help--I'm desperate. I can't lose all of those tabs.

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings, disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
*In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
*In previous Firefox versions, click on the Firefox button at the top left of the Firefox window and click on ''Help'' (or click on ''Help'' in the Menu bar, if you don't have a Firefox button) then click on ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode". 
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.

Tab and back-tab out of a JTable

Hi There,
I have been working for some time on improving the default behaviour of the tab key within editable JTables. It largely works as required now, but I'm stuck on getting back-tab to leave the table if on row 0, col 0. I register tab and back-tab action in the table's ActionMap that looks like this:
 class TabAction extends AbstractAction {
 public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
 if (getRowCount() > 0) {
 int row = getSelectedRow();
 int column = getSelectedColumn();
 if (row < 0 || column < 0) {
 row = 0;
 column = 0;
 do {
 if (++column >= getColumnCount()) {
 row++;
 column = 0;
 } while (row < getRowCount() && ! isCellTabbable(row, column));
 if (row < getRowCount()) {
 changeSelection(row, column, false, false);
 } else {
 clearSelection();
 transferFocus();
 } else {
 transferFocus();
 class BackTabAction extends AbstractAction {
 public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
 if (getRowCount() > 0) {
 int row = getSelectedRow();
 int column = getSelectedColumn();
 if (row < 0 || column < 0) {
 row = getRowCount() - 1;
 column = getColumnCount() - 1;
 do {
 if (--column < 0) {
 row--;
 column = getColumnCount() - 1;
 } while (row >= 0 && ! isCellTabbable(row, column));
 if (row >= 0) {
 changeSelection(row, column, false, false);
 } else {
 clearSelection();
 transferFocusBackward();
 KeyboardFocusManager fm = KeyboardFocusManager.getCurrentKeyboardFocusManager();
 // fm.upFocusCycle(BTTTable_Editable.this);
 // fm.focusPreviousComponent(BTTTable_Editable.this);
 } else {
 // transferFocusBackward();
 // KeyboardFocusManager fm = KeyboardFocusManager.getCurrentKeyboardFocusManager();
 // fm.upFocusCycle(BTTTable_Editable.this);
 // fm.focusPreviousComponent(BTTTable_Editable.this);
 }transferFocus() to go to the next screen component works fine - as long as I callsetFocusTraversalPolicyProvider(true); when I create the JTable.
But the backward traversal just doesn't work - instead it does nothing the first time you press back-tab on row 0 col 0, then if you press it again, focus goes onto the last row/col of the table.
As an alternative, I thought maybe I could call the Ctrl-back-tab action, but I can't find that registered in the action map - can anyone tell me how ctrl-back-tab is called and whether I can call that code directly?
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Tim

Where's the rest of your code? What good does posting
the Actions do if we can't execute your code and see
how you've installed the Actions on the table? Who
knows where the mistake is. It may be in the posted
code or it may be in some other code.Well I assume the Action is registered okay because back-tab within the table works fine, and in fact using a debugger I can see that the focus request code (transferFocusBackward) is being called at the right time. I followed it into that code and it appears that it is picking up the tableCellEditor as the "previous" component which is "why" it isn't working right - not that that helps me to fix it.

}I thought it might be the focusGained() code, but commenting that out makes no difference.
And here is the code I would use to go to the
previous component:
KeyboardFocusManager.getCurrentKeyboardFocusManager().
focusPreviousComponent();I tried that too, as you can see from my original post. It gives the same answer.
So the big question is why does the FocusManager think that the "previous" field to the table is an editor component within the table?

With multiple tabs open, crashing with no warning to close tabs and no crash report. Just bye-bye.

I have the option to warn me before closing multiple tabs selected. I left my desk for an hour with multiple windows open. When I returned, all but 1 window disappeared. I was typing on Facebook with multiple tabs open and instantly all tabs and windows disappeared without warning. No crash report either. I search for the keyboard shortcut to close a window (Alt+Spacebar+C). I tested with multiple tabs open, no warning - just instantly closed. I do not think I hit these keys by accident and I would like an option for a warning with one tab open or multiple tabs.

Ok I solved the problem if anyone is looking at this.
Add on "Hide Caption Title bar Plus" was the offender
Option - define option for close button. Was on recommended not default.
Choose default, problem eliminated!

''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you.
