Question

I have a combo box. After selecting an item in combo box new JDialog opens.

1. When i use JDK 1.6_06, I am able
   to click on buttons in JDialog
   properly.
2. When i use JDK 1.6_24,
   then i need to click anywhere in
   JDialog first. Then only clicking on
   button works. Firstly i thought this
   is some issue with the focus. But
   component works fine with JDK
   1.6_06. But its a issue only with JDK 1.6_24.

I tried to google it. But didnt find any answer. Does anybody have any idea?

Answer 1

@All: Aplogize for late reply. I was trying out different scenarios. And i have found that issue is with the threading. It seems that combo box is not yet finished its work, and jdialog is opened. And after that combo box tries to finish its work, so the focus is lost to the parent window. I tried opening dialog in thread:

             new Thread() {
                    public void run() {
                        // open dialog here
                    }
                }.start();

And it works fine. Now i am planning to open dialog using SwingWorker:

                 SwingWorker worker = new SwingWorker() {
                @Override
                protected Object doInBackground() throws Exception {
                    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                    // open dialog here
                    return null;
                }
                 };

This is also working. Hope this is the right way. Please let me know, if I am doing a right thing.
