Trapping KeyEvents anywhere in a JFrame for a status bar

Hi all,
There are a few examples of how to implement a status bar in the archives, but I haven't seen anything that tells you how to trap KeyEvents (e.g. pertaining to CapsLock etc.) which occur anywhere in a JFrame: once you start adding focusable components (particularly but not exclusively JTextComponents) to a JFrame the JFrame itself is often not sent the KeyEvents, so a rudimentary addKeyListener() is not the answer.
Could this involve the use of KeyboardFocusManager or sthg? NB to experts: I have read the tutorial on the focus subsystem to no avail. The key seems to be to trap the event thread in some way, perhaps??
All help greatly appreciated...
Mike

Add a AWTEventListener on Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit() with appropriate mask. See javadocs of addAWTEventListener method.

Jframe on the Status Bar

I want that JFrame which is currently opened should not appear on the WindowXP task bar.Can any one of u help me.

To clarify the post above, the JLabel is typically added to the south part of the window. Lowered BevelBorder gives the status bar look familiar to most users.
Good luck.

Will a wifi widget be released for the status bar or is there already one that I don't know about??

JFrames withous status bar with "Java Applet Window" ?

Hello.
I call a JFrame from JApplet. All my JFrames with a status bar where string "Java Applet Window" is showing. How can I creat JFrames without that status bar?
Thank you in advance.

This shows as a security measure because your applet isn't "signed". Your applet must be signed in order for this to not show.
Refer to the following for a how-to:

Can't create a status bar for my window

I'm trying to add a status bar to a window I've created. I've tried to get this to work by doing this:
frame = new JFrame();
canvas = new CanvasPane();
frame.setContentPane(canvas);
frame.setTitle(title);
canvas.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(width, height));
backgroundColour = bgColour;
Container contentPane = frame.getContentPane();
JLabel statusLabel = new JLabel("This is the status bar");
contentPane.add(statusLabel, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
Everything works except for the status bar. What am I doing wrong?

in the above example, the poster is taking it for granted that you class extends the JFrame class. In case not then you have do as follows:
myFrameName.getContentPane()."What ever else";Also before starting to put thing using the border layout do as follows:

Keypress listener anywhere in a JFrame

Hello!
I want to listen for a keypress (F12) from anywhere in my JFrame window, exactly like if I added a menubar with an accelerator.
I can't just register a KeyListener on the JFrame because I have serveral panels on it.
Any ideas?
//John

Thanks! works great now, here is the code if anybody is intrerested:
      private void addKeyBindings() {
           Action finishAction = new AbstractAction() {
                private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
                public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
                     onButtonFinishClick( e ); //Forward
           //Set input actions
           InputMap im = _bFinish.getInputMap( WHEN_IN_FOCUSED_WINDOW );
           ActionMap am = _bFinish.getActionMap();
           KeyStroke ks = KeyStroke.getKeyStroke( "F12" );
           im.put( ks, "onf12" );
           am.put( "onf12", finishAction );
      }

Is there anywhere a technical manual for the NB100 ?

Is there anywhere a technical manual for the NB100 ?
I want to replace my internal harddisk with a bigger one and don´t want to destroy anything so a manual for the best way to open the NB100 would be a good thing :-)

The upgrade is not that hard. There is no need to completely disassemble the unit. Remove the screws from the underside, then remove the cover at the top of the keyboard (the cover with the on/off switch on). Remove the screws from under the cover and then remove the keyboard, gently unclipping the ribbon. unclip the ribbon for the touchpad and the wireless aerials (x2). At this stage the HDD is accessible on the left side, remove the screws and gently pull the HDD out.
Once the new drive is fitted, reverse the procedure. I had no option but to replace mine, as I was on an overseas trip when the Toshiba HDD failed (the system was saying I had no HDD fitted) and as I had only taken the NB100 with me I had no choice if I wanted a working laptop for the trip, I stripped my external HDD and fitted it into the NB100, I now have a NB100 with a 250 GB HDD and it's perfect.

I downloaded two movies from itunes at the same time (both free digital copies from a dvd) and when they finished downloading... they disappeared. I've not been able to re-download them or find them.. anywhere. Any suggestions for tracking them down?

If you downloaded them on your computer's iTunes then they should have gone into the Movies part of your iTunes library, if on a device (iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch) then into the Videos app - they haven't appeared there ?
If you downloaded on your PC and they don't show in the Movies section then you could try searching for them by name (or part of their name) via windows explorer and see if that finds them. Or if you downloaded them on a device and they aren't in the Videos app then have you got a film age rating set in Settings > General > Restrictions that is hiding them, and if not can you find them via the device's spotlight search screen (swipe your first homescreen to the right) ?

hi i want to make FS for order status report i almost get all table and field but i don't get only two field rate per unit and balance value table field didn't get please help me searching in field and table
i want to develop my status report

Hi,
Check tables VBAK and VBAP wherein you will get all header and item details.
VBUK and VBUP for header and line item statuses.
KONV would give you rates/pricing details for each condition type determines in the sales order.
VBAK-KNUMV = KONV-KNUMV is how you relate both of them.
Hope that helps.
