In order to have custom button captions in an input dialog, I created the following code:
String key = null;
JTextField txtKey = new JTextField();
int answerKey = JOptionPane.showOptionDialog(this, new Object[] {pleaseEnterTheKey, txtKey}, decryptionKey, JOptionPane.OK_CANCEL_OPTION, JOptionPane.QUESTION_MESSAGE, null, new Object[] {okCaption, cancelCaption}, okCaption);
if (answerKey == JOptionPane.OK_OPTION && txtKey.getText() != null) {
key = txtKey.getText();
}
How can I move the focus (cursor) to the text field as the dialog is displayed?
UPDATE
This does not work for me, I mean the textfield has no focus: OS: Fedora - Gnome
public class Test {
public static void main(String[] args) {
String key = null;
JTextField txtKey = new JTextField();
txtKey.addAncestorListener(new RequestFocusListener());
int answerKey = JOptionPane.showOptionDialog(null, new Object[]{"Please enter the key:", txtKey}, "Title", JOptionPane.OK_CANCEL_OPTION, JOptionPane.QUESTION_MESSAGE, null, new Object[]{"OKKK", "CANCELLLL"}, "OKKK");
if (answerKey == JOptionPane.OK_OPTION && txtKey.getText() != null) {
key = txtKey.getText();
}
}
}
Dialog Focus shows how you can easily set the focus on any component in a modal dialog.
