Hello to all!!I am trying to set the focus of the next textfield pressing the key VK_DOWN like this:
if(ae.getID()==KeyEvent.VK_DOWN){
((JTextField)ae.getSource()).setNextFocusableComponent((JTextField)ae.getSource());
}
But nothing happens, what's wrong?!Thanks!!
> if(ae.getID()==KeyEvent.VK_DOWN){
are you sure that's the code you used?
getID() returns the event number = 400,401,402 for keyTyped/Pressed/Released
KeyEvent.VK_DOWN) = 40
are you trying to add up/down arrow keys to the normal tab-navigation?
if so, try this
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.util.*;
class Testing
{
public void buildGUI()
{
JPanel p = new JPanel(new GridLayout(4,1));
for(int x = 0; x < 4; x++) p.add(new JTextField(5));
JFrame f = new JFrame();
f.getContentPane().add(p);
f.pack();
f.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
Set forwardKeys = new HashSet(f.getFocusTraversalKeys(KeyboardFocusManager.FORWARD_TRAVERSAL_KEYS));
forwardKeys.add(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_DOWN, 0));
f.setFocusTraversalKeys(KeyboardFocusManager.FORWARD_TRAVERSAL_KEYS,forwardKeys);
Set backwardKeys = new HashSet(f.getFocusTraversalKeys(KeyboardFocusManager.BACKWARD_TRAVERSAL_KEYS));
backwardKeys.add(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_UP, 0));
f.setFocusTraversalKeys(KeyboardFocusManager.BACKWARD_TRAVERSAL_KEYS,backwardKeys);
f.setVisible(true);
}
public static void main(String[] args)
{
SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable(){
public void run(){
new Testing().buildGUI();
}
});
}
