// The code below cycles focus as follows:

//

// jTxtArea -> jTxtField1 -> jTxtField2 -|

//    ^----------------------------------'

 

   JTextArea jTxtArea = new JTextArea ();

   JTextField jTxtField1 = new JTextField();

   JTextField jTxtField2 = new JTextField();

 

   // Note: this is deprecated in java 1.4

   // (replaced by FocusTraversalPolicy), but still works well with

   // Tab and Shift-Tab in Java 1.2.2, 1.3 and 1.4.1.
   jTxtArea.setNextFocusableComponent(jTxtField1 );
   jTxtField1.setNextFocusableComponent(jTxtField2);

   jTxtField2.setNextFocusableComponent(jTxtArea);

Subject: [jdjlist] focus problem
         Hi all,

Is there any better way to transfer a focus other than
transferFocus()  ??

I want my focus to go to the next component when the
user presses the TAB in the JTextArea. As of now, I have
implemented it by using transferFocus() .. but the problem
comes when i press SHIFT + TAB...

transferFocus() is a shady method because it will always
propogate the focus in the forward direction. Unfortunately
there is no way to transfer the focus in backward direction
(at least i cant think of ..) ?

Does anyone has any ideas how to transfer the focus in
the reverse direction .. or may be at least to find out the
direction of the focus ?
 

kind regards
abhay
