Unable to retain focus

[Amaresh Patra]

Hi,
I have a Jbutton in JApplet which I have defined as the default button in the init() method itself. When a popup screen comes above it loses the focus and when the popup is closed the Jbutton is not able to get the focus back eventhough in the dispose event of popup I have used requestfocus()/grabfocus() to get the focus back to the original JButton.
All suggestions are welcome

I'm not sure if this will work for an applet, but putting the requestFocus() call in addNotify() works for Dialogs.
Try code similar to this:

    public void addNotify() {
        super.addNotify();
        textField.requestFocus();
    }
