Hi all, I have a Frame that contains a Canvas, two Scrollbar's and a Label. When I create the Frame, I let the Canvas request focus. It gets it. However, whenever focus is lost to the Frame, the Canvas does not receive focus back again. This is due to the fact that when the mentioned Frame receives the focus, it calls focusNext() (via some ShortcutHandler). Neither of my four Components are focus-traversable, so none of them gets focus. What I would expect is that the Component that has the focus, is remembered in some way when the Frame loses focus, such that the Component can receive it back whenever the Frame receives it back. I tried to remember the Component in the Frame, but got caught in Components that never show they gain focus in the Java part. A peek in the C-code showed code involved in focus there, too and that is when I gave up. Remark: Component.processFocusEvent() tests whether there is a FocusListener, but when there was none, the function did not get called at all. Bye, Kero. PS: other JVM's have better behaviour, but not perfect either. PS2: I have a simple work-around. +--- Kero --------------------------------- [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---+ | Don't split your mentality without thinking twice | | Proud like a God -- Guano Apes | +--- M38c ------------------ http://huizen.dds.nl/~kero ---+
