How to simulate a focusLost Event when the user click away from the JComboBox?

[Jacky Luk]

It seems to be working only when the user uses the tab key.
It doesn't trigger this event for the focus listener when
the user click another component from, like
the JDateChooser.
Thanks

Like you have been told many many times before, without your SSCCE, nobody can be bothered to help you with questions like "It seems to be working only when..."

package dobfocussscce;

import com.toedter.calendar.JDateChooser;
import java.awt.FlowLayout;
import java.awt.event.FocusAdapter;
import java.awt.event.FocusEvent;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JTextField;

public class DOBFocusSSCCE {

    JDateChooser DOB = new JDateChooser();
    JTextField tf = new JTextField(30);
    JFrame f = new JFrame("Test");
    
    public DOBFocusSSCCE() {
           
           f.setLayout(new FlowLayout());
           DOB.getDateEditor().getUiComponent().addFocusListener(new FocusAdapter() {

            @Override
            public void focusLost(FocusEvent e) {
                  
                  System.out.println("Event Triggered");
                 
            }
        
        });
        
        f.add(tf);
        f.add(DOB);
        
        f.pack();
        f.setVisible(true);
           
           
    }

   
    
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        DOBFocusSSCCE sscce = new DOBFocusSSCCE();
    }
}

In the code project, when the user finishes choosing a date, then click away
Event Triggered is not shown. I don't understand why
Thanks

- why do you need that, miss any reason for this public and free API,

- because I'm sure that focus recycle is there excelent handled, code is clear, as aside this is one of the best of JCalendar, without side effect as you can see in most of non_free JCalendars

- load code_source, see how is created JComponents hierarchy, see which type of Top-Level Container is used for popup window, how is focus handled, which methods and how they are used (I think you can to override those methods - see Kais licencing before)

- raeson should be important, because most of (un_)standards are implemented by author in publics methods, then there isn't reason to walking throught JComponents tree and wrong way

- I see, I miss there some must_to_have addons (special days, hollydays, coloring, etc) that is probalby out of your scope

Hi,
ok, I can see the source code in the package,
see how it works internally




Thanks
