TAB to get next focus

Hello Guys,
I have a problem that I would really like some help with.
I have a JPanel set to layout null. I have added some components to this panel. the problem arises when I try to use the tab key to traverse accros the components...I get no respose. I have tried to search the web to solve this problem with no luck. I am not even able to catch the tab button with a key listener no matter how hard I try.
Here is the code
public class CreBuy extends JPanel {
 public CustomGUI.ToolTipPanel panToolTip;
 public ThreeButton btnClose;
 public CustomGUI.TextFieldForm txtFirstName;
 public CustomGUI.TextFieldForm txtLastName;
 public CustomGUI.TextFieldForm txtBuyerID;
 public CustomGUI.TextFieldForm txtAddress1;
 public CustomGUI.TextFieldForm txtAddress2;
 public CustomGUI.TextFieldForm txtSuburb;

 this.imgBack.setSize(693, 444);
 this.imgBack.setLocation(0, 0);
 this.add(this.imgBack);
 }I know the problem isnt with the custom components as I have tried to tab when using normal JTextField with the same problem.
Does anyone know what I am doing wrong or how I can at least catch the TAB key to invoke the next focus manually?
thanks for your help

Hi,
try this, it seems to work for me:
public class EnterIsTabJTable extends JTable
    protected void processKeyEvent(KeyEvent e)
        if ( e.getKeyCode() == KeyEvent.VK_ENTER )
            e.setKeyCode(KeyEvent.VK_TAB);
        super.processKeyEvent(e);
}

When i open a new tab i get a tab with 2 blue bars, instead of one - the one on top of the site - and a little firefox dropdown - and when i start the next session firefox crashes???

When clicking a link - a new tab opens. But the new tab which opens looks wired: There are 2 blue bars - the one you get on each session(where the red x is which closes everything) - I don`t know how you call this. This 2nd blue bar is located directly under the "normal" one and has got - on the left hand side- a firefox dropdown menue(when you click it you get: New Tab, Start private browsing, edit, save page as and so on.
I can close the session as always but when i start the next session a view hours or a day later then firefox opens all the tabs from the session before as individual windows - and then it crashes. This happens 2 or 3 times - then i see a window where i am asked to either restore the old session(which doesn`t work - it always crashes again) or start a new session - which works.
This is very annoying. Please tell me what to do.
Thank you
richard

It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
Delete the files sessionstore.js [2] and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
* Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well. 
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

How do I get tabs to open next to current tab?

How can I get a new tab to open next to the current tab without switching to the new tab instead of having the new tab open at the end of all open tabs and switching to the new tab?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

Right click the FireFox button in your toolbar and look in the properties- middle tab...make sure that it only has "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" with no other link added to the end. I had a similar problem this morning and found a website had attached it's link to the end so it would always pop up first and would only open a new tab.
Hope that fixed it.

Stopping tab from moving to the next focus component

I have a single TextInput field in my component and I want to
stop the tab key from advancing the focus when I have an error in
the field. I have tried using setFocus() and that seems to do it
although I lose the caret in the text input field. Also when I tab
I notice that even though I am telling the component that the next
focus is the TextInput field it still goes to the Internet Explorer
address bar. Any ideas?

Append the system's line separator usingjava.lang.System.getProperty( "line.separator" );Then the added line will be placed as you've wanted. Code will be written like below:yourTextArea.append( System.getProperty( "line.separator" ) );
yourTextArea.append( yourStringToAppend );Hope it helps.

The latest version of Firefox no longer asks if you want to save open tabes for your next session..I HATE not having that option. What were they thinking?

Question
The latest version of Firefox no longer asks if you want to save open tabs for your next session..I HATE not having that option. What were they thinking? (I think this is self explanatory)

Firefox 4 saves the previous session automatically, so there is no longer need for the dialog asking if you want to save the current session. 
You can use "Firefox > History > Restore Previous Session" to get the previous session at any time. 
There is also a "Restore Previous Session" button on the default about:home Home page. 
 
Another possibility is to use:
* [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Menu_differences Firefox (Tools) > Options] > General > Startup: "When Firefox Starts": "Show my windows and tabs from last time"

How can I use the enter key instead of tab to change field focus?

I am using Acrobat 9 Pro.
We have a fillable PDF where the users enter numbers into fields. They want to be able to use the <enter> key on the 10-key pad instead of the <tab> key on the keyboard to move the focus to the next data entry field.
How can I set my PDF so that it recognizes the <enter> key instead of the <tab> key for changing focus?
Thanks!

You can use a custom Keystroke script, something like:
// Custom Keystroke script for text field
if (event.willCommit && event.commitKey === 2) {
getField("Text2").setFocus();
Where "Text2" is the name of the next field. This doesn't disable the Tab key though. For more information, see: http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.608.html

When I open news or other sites in tabs, I get "Problem loading page" errors on all tabs that I attempted to open.

I just upgraded to Firefox 20.0 as you "suggested" and now whenever I try to open a new site in a new tab, I get the error "Problem loading page". However, if I open them in new windows, they come up just fine. What have you done to a reasonably running browser?

I can't think of any reason for a new window to load well but not a new tab. It could be the second try effect. Firefox sometimes seems to give up on a site instantly, but if you reload, everything is fine. Could you try a reload in the same tab the next time and see whether that works? Not that it's a good workaround, but just to get a better idea of what's happening.

Ms Excel move automatically without pressing Enter or Tab to the next cell

Hi, I wonder if it is possible to make Ms Excel move automatically without pressing Enter or Tab to the next cell once a certain number of digits is entered, for example, I'm using a barcode scanner to scan a barcode of 13 digits, so I want Excel
to move to the next cell once the barcode is scanned.
example: I'm In cell A1, this code appeared after scanning "AABB1234567CC", I want Excel to move to A2 in order to scan the next barcode.

Hi,
Excel has no direct feature or option to achieve your goal. We'd better try the macro via VBA code to test. Please see the thread:

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 ?

I dont think so that possible without javascript.. AFAIK
<af:clientListener method="setFocus()" type="load"/>
 <af:resource type="javascript">
 function setFocus(event){
 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)
 {input1.focus();

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.
