This is a small part of our focus/validation framework. I just try to explain it as simple as possible. javax.swing.InputVerifier gives only access to the source component. We need to know the target component. Would it be possible to overload verify(..) (or introduce another method) which

Exactly, the target can reject the focus transfer (and the source too). All our UI components support "FocusRequestEnterExit" listeners which has a requestEnter(EnterExitEvent) and requestExit(EnterExitEvent) method (among others focusGained/focusLost methods). The EnterExitEvent has a reject()

Thank for explanation. It seems to me such functionality belongs to the input validation domain and should not be mixed up with the Swing focus transfer internals. Swing has javax.swing.InputVerifier which you could extend and set to each component of your framework. I suppose it would be

Okay... You said the you need to intercept the focus request in the place where the target is set. From my point of view opening Component#requestFocusInWindow(CausedFocusEvent.Cause cause) resolves that. But it looks like you need extra. What is the final purpose? Maybe you want to reject

Thanks for your investigation Semyon. Make Component#requestFocusInWindow(CausedFocusEvent.Cause cause) public/protected will not help us. I can explain it more detailed if you want. What would help is to introduce a "protected boolean Component#isRequestFocusAccepted()" which is invoked by

Hello Semyon, We need to know the target component: "which component will be focused". Target component means the component which should be "really" focused, so this can only be known after all the FocusCycle / FocusTraversalPolicy logic has processed. DefaultKeyboardFocusManager

Hi Reto, It is unlikely that AWTAccessor API may be opened. It gives access to internal undocumented methods not to even mention that those methods have private and package accesses. As I understand you need the way to intercept focus transfer initiated by a traversal key. Why to subclass the

Hello Alexandr, Basically we need to detect and intercept focus changes. java.awt.Component allows to override this methods: requestFocus() requestFocus(boolean) requestFocusInWindow() requestFocusInWindow(boolean) requestFocus() is only invoked when the component is focused by a mouse click.
