I want to set the focus on a specific JTextField which is passed to the JOptionPane as Object Message. Here is my code (I want the focus on txt2 but the focus always is on txt1):
import java.awt.*;
import java.util.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class TextArea extends JPanel
{
private JTextArea txt1 = new JTextArea();
private JTextArea txt2 = new JTextArea();
public TextArea()
{
setLayout(null);
setPreferredSize(new Dimension(200,100));
txt1.setBounds (20, 20, 220, 20);
txt2.setBounds (20, 45, 220, 20);
txt1.setText("Text Field #1");
txt2.setText("Text Field #2");
add(txt1);
add(txt2);
txt2.requestFocus();
}
private void display()
{
Object[] options = {this};
JOptionPane pane = new JOptionPane();
pane.showOptionDialog(null, null, "Title", JOptionPane.DEFAULT_OPTION, JOptionPane.PLAIN_MESSAGE, null, options, txt2);
}
public static void main(String[] args)
{
new TextArea().display();
}
}
You could let the txt2
component request focus once it is added by overriding addNotify
. Like this:
private JTextArea txt2 = new JTextArea() {
public void addNotify() {
super.addNotify();
requestFocus();
}
};
Here's a fully functional / tested version of your program:
import java.awt.Dimension;
import javax.swing.*;
public class Test extends JPanel {
private JTextArea txt1 = new JTextArea();
private JTextArea txt2 = new JTextArea() {
public void addNotify() {
super.addNotify();
requestFocus();
}
};
public Test() {
setLayout(null);
setPreferredSize(new Dimension(200, 100));
txt1.setBounds(20, 20, 220, 20);
txt2.setBounds(20, 45, 220, 20);
txt1.setText("Text Field #1");
txt2.setText("Text Field #2");
add(txt1);
add(txt2);
}
private void display() {
Object[] options = { this };
JOptionPane pane = new JOptionPane();
pane.showOptionDialog(null, null, "Title", JOptionPane.DEFAULT_OPTION,
JOptionPane.PLAIN_MESSAGE, null, options, txt2);
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
new Test().display();
}
}
