Question

Whenever my Applet starts up.. I start it as Java application and here’s what I do:

   public static void main(String[] args)
  {
    JFrame frame=new JFrame("Game - v2.2");
    applet=new tileOffline();
    frame.setFocusable(true);
    frame.requestFocusInWindow();
    frame.getContentPane().add(applet,BorderLayout.CENTER);
    frame.setSize(646,558);
    frame.addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter()
       {public void windowClosing(WindowEvent evt)
         { applet.stop(); applet.destroy(); System.exit(0); 
       } } );

    applet.init();
    applet.start();    
    frame.setVisible(true);
    say.setFocusable(true);
    say.setText("Test");
  }

So when I start the game… when you first press any key… it should go in the JTextField of say because it’s focused on that. But nope. It’s not.

In fact, it sees say because it successfully adds Test to say… so… I dunno.

Answer 1

Try calling

say.requestFocusInWindow();
