Focus Between JComboBox and JTextField

[Ankur Sharma]

Hi All,

I have a screen in which I have used flow layout, and in this screen there are two components 1. JComboBox and 2. JtextField.

Now the problem is JCombobox is first component and after that jTextField is displayed, Now I have used below method to setFocus as the screen starts. But it is not working...

SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
txtUPCNDCSCCWIC.requestFocusInWindow();
}
});

But still Combobox is getting focused as we start the screen. What I have analyzed is that it might be because, JCombobox is itself is Component.
Can any body help me, how can I getFocus on TextField.

is this in a JTabbedPane?

if so, use a timer for the requestFocusInWindow(), 250ms should do

No it's not JTabbedPane....... and even it's not working If I am using requestFocusInWindow().

requestFocusInWindow() must be called after the frame is visible, so
invokeLater should work.

try setting frame.setVisible(true) before the SwingUtilities, if still not working
post a short demo program, so we can see how you have put it together.
