Hi Cynthia,
This worked without a problem for me by using either show() or
setVisible(true), *then* invoking toFront(). I didn't have to use an
intermediate call to requestFocus(). I'm on NT 4.0, SP 6a and JDK 1.3.
I expect that the problem was that the frame hadn't been realized and
toFront() prior to that point did nothing. There's a good deal of
functionality that amounts effectively to a no-op when a component hasn't
been realized. For more information, see "The Single Thread Rule" at:
