catch a KeypressEvent on all the application

hi, i'm a newby in swing, so please don't be rude

I've a little problem with the Keyprees Event in SWING

My application has many components such as JTable, JTextAreas, and JLabels.

I wanted to catch the Event with a Listener added in the mainFrame that holds all this components. So i don't haver to place a listener on all of them.

I thought that when a component does not catch the Event, it was passed to his container component, but i seems not to work this way.

PLEASE HELP
