Cant get Focus on textfield

Did you try textField1.requestFocus()?

If you did you will have to post a Short, Self Contained, Compilable and Executable, Example Program ([url http://homepage1.nifty.com/algafield/sscce.html]SSCCE[/url]) that demonstrates the problem.

Because it's working fine for me.

And don't forget to use the code tags when posting code.

Thanks for your responses.

This is my compilable,executable dummy code.I have taken out lines which are not relevant to focus issue as well as the import.Please llet me know what can be done to get the focus in textfield as soon as window loads.

public class DummyObjectSearchPanel extends JPanel implements ActionListener

{

JTextField textField1;

JButton searchButton;

ImageIcon searchIconIcon;

JToolBar jToolBar1;

private static Icon closeIcon = new ImageIcon(ObjectSearchMainPanel.class.getResource("/resources/images/close_small.gif"));

private JButton closeButton;

JFrame frame;

private String newline = "\n";

public DummyObjectSearchPanel()

{

this.setLayout(new BorderLayout());

this.setBorder(new ShadowBorder());

textField1 = new JTextField();

this.setEnabled(true);

this.setFocusable(true);

this.requestFocusInWindow();

this.setVisible(true);

textField1.requestFocus();

System.out.println("has focus " + textField1.hasFocus());

jToolBar1 = new JToolBar();

frame = new JFrame();

frame.setUndecorated(true);

jbInit();

}

void jbInit()

{

searchButton = new JButton();

searchButton.setText("SearchButton");

closeButton = new JButton(closeIcon);

ActionListener al = new ActionListener()

{

public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae)

{

textField1.requestFocusInWindow();

}

};

textField1.addActionListener(new java.awt.event.ActionListener()

{

public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)

{

searchButton_actionPerformed(e);

}

});

jToolBar1.setBorder(null);

jToolBar1.addSeparator();

jToolBar1.add(closeButton);

closeButton.setOpaque(false);

closeButton.setMargin(new Insets(4, 4, 4, 4));

Dimension closeBtnDimension = new Dimension(20, 20);

closeButton.setPreferredSize(closeBtnDimension);

closeButton.setMinimumSize(closeBtnDimension);

closeButton.setSize(closeBtnDimension);

closeButton.addActionListener(new java.awt.event.ActionListener()

{

public void actionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt)

{

//closeButton action taken out to make code short

}

});

jToolBar1.addSeparator();

jToolBar1.addSeparator();

jToolBar1.add(textField1);

jToolBar1.addSeparator();

jToolBar1.add(searchButton);

jToolBar1.addSeparator();

jToolBar1.addSeparator();

this.add(jToolBar1);

searchButton.addActionListener(new java.awt.event.ActionListener()

{

public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)

{

searchButton_actionPerformed(e);

}

});

textField1.requestFocusInWindow();

}

void searchButton_actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)

{

//searchbutton logic removed to simplify the code

}

private static void createAndShowGUI() {

//Create and set up the window.

JFrame frame = new JFrame("New Search");

Dimension d=new Dimension(600,100);

frame.setSize(d);

frame.setMinimumSize(d);

frame.setPreferredSize(d);

frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);

frame.pack();

//Create and set up the content pane.

JComponent newContentPane = new DummyObjectSearchPanel();

newContentPane.setOpaque(true); //content panes must be opaque

frame.getContentPane().add(new DummyObjectSearchPanel(),

BorderLayout.CENTER);

//Display the window.

//frame.pack();

frame.setVisible(true);

}

public static void main(String[] args) {

UIManager.put("swing.boldMetal", Boolean.FALSE);

SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {

public void run() {

createAndShowGUI();

}

});

}

public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)

{

// TODO Auto-generated method stub

}

}

Thanks you so much
