That works, thanks!But when I apply to a login dialog contains a ListButton for
user Ids, TextInput for password and few PushButtonswhich I extended from
org.apache.pivot.wtk.Sheet and I've tried both BXML<BoxPane ....
focusTraversalPolicy="$bxml:null" ... />or wrap that component in a container
then call setFocusTraversalPolicy(null), it doesn't works.
I just want to make sure it should works for org.apache.pivot.wtk.Sheet alsoso
that I can continue to try on the same approach. Regards,Jeffrey

To disable tabbing for a particular container, in BXML you can do
(for instance):
<BoxPane .... focusTraversalPolicy="$bxml:null" ... />
And of course you could call the "setFocusTraversalPolicy(null)"
from Java as well (on the container). To disable focus for a
particular component only, you could wrap just that component in a
BoxPane (or other container) and set the "focusTraversalPolicy" as
above to null.

Dear Sandro,
Thanks for your reply!
My issue is very simple to demo.
I actually started my project with the sample [Pivot Stock
Traker].
http://pivot.apache.org/tutorials/stock-tracker.html
Exactly my issue is when you start up the demo, the focus is in
the [Symbol] textbox.
But if you press [TAB] key the focus will certainly loss.
But if you can set the table's focusable property to false, the
table will not receive the focus
and the focus will always stays in the [Symbol] textbox.
As you mentioned also I can't just disable the table component
cause I need to handle addition and deletion of the active rows
as well.
Maybe I can forcing requestFocus on all other components but
then I need to create also
several customized dialog in order to capture user's input
selection also.
So I really hope can hear the good news on 2.1!
Regards,
Jeffrey
