hi jeanette and all others sorry to intrude this thread...but i'm facing a major problem for which i can't find a solution, perhaps i came across a bug...and maybe some has a workaround... i've seen your "InputVerifier and JButton" thread and i can see similitudes to my problem: i have different JTextFields with different InputVerifiers. on one JTextField (when i go through its InputVerifier verify() method) i have to open two modal dialogs one after the other (one it's a question and one showing that we connect to the internet to get an information). so far so good no problems. the focus is transfered as the verify() methods returns (false remain, true go to the next defined JTextField which should get the focus - this is done when initializing with setNextFocusableComponent()) now I had to place another modal dialog between the two existing ones (get password dialog) and ...bang...suddenly i have two carets blinking: one on the next focused JTextField and on on the generating one. but what's even worse the generating JTextField has become unmanagable: no focus handling, no entries can be done...it's dead....as the InputVerifier process was in a way interrupted on the generating JTextField. but nevertheless it has given the focus to the next component... i've tried a lot of things (placing invokeLaters on every possible location, calling requestFocus() in differnet situations...no way) but without any success. did you (or someone else) had this troubles too? is there a workaround? again sorry for this intrusion and thank you for your help -paolo _______________________________________________ Advanced-swing mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://eos.dk/mailman/listinfo/advanced-swing
