No KeyEvents processed by extended JFrame - howto debug this

Hi All,I have written myself a little app in which the Accelerators are not evaluated. How can I debug this problem? I have tried to reproduce the error, but it works just fine in another app. How can I debug this? Where do I start?

The most likely cause, as far as I can tell, is another KeyListener consuming the events. Make sure you're not registering any bogus ones. To narrow down the problem, you could double-check if the problem occurs in the entire app, or only if one (or more) components have keyboard focus.

I think you can usejava.awt.Toolkit.addAWTEventListener(...)method to trace events that are thrown (never tried that myself though). So if key events are generated but not show up they are probably consumed somewhere (as posted by DaanS)

In that case AWTEventListener will not help, it receives different messages as I need.

I used:

KeyboardFocusManager.getCurrentKeyboardFocusManager().addKeyEventDispatcher(this);

to do the work...

See documentation about this but it worked for me (maybe it will work for you too).

don't know if this helps, but I had a problem with a KeyListener

today. Apparently KeyTyped

will return 0

when you try to getKeyCode()

for an action key; and apparently the delete key is an action key, because when I used keyPressed()

along with keyReleased()

it worked.
