Hi,
I have a form with sone password fiels on. I’m trying to get the first field in focus when the JPannel is displayed.

I’ve tried all the options in matisse and I can’t get any of the text fields in focus. I’ve tried to hard code the values using

jPasswordField1.setFocusable(true);
jPasswordField1.setFocusCycleRoot(true);
jPasswordField1.setRequestFocusEnabled(true);
jPasswordField1.requestFocus();

I can’t even tab to the first field. I have to click on it. I have other forms that work just fine.

Thanks,

Chris

Chris,
By default all text fields should be included in the tab-cycle, so you might want to remove all that custom code, it might be undoing something. lastly you will want to make sure the requestFocus is getting called after the form becomes visible.

Hi,
I had to add the request focus from the top level JFrame for the password field. This worked fine.

Thanks,

Chris
