Why will this KeyListener not work?

Hi

I've used a KeyListener before, and now i need it again, but though i did as before, it will not work.

I have a "set-up" method for the gui that contains "frame.addKeyListener(this);" and a keyPressed(KeyEent ev){System.out.println("Now it works");}

I've looked it through over and over again, but i can't see whats wrong, can someone tell me please?

Here is the code for the class if it helps: http://pastebin.com/m46d78ce9

Thanks in advance

(Im not sure if I've placed the post the rigth place, sorry if it's wrong)

Please supply more details, as requested in this FAQ.
I think this thread would sit better on the Swing forum, so I shall move it.

there's a whole bunch of reasons why keylistener will not 'receive' keyEvents when added to the frame.
possible what's in AndenPanel or LomPanel consumes them, but that's just a guess.

best solution is to use keyBindings instead of keyListener.

Can you tell me where i can learn how to use keybindings?

It's extremely likely that one of the first three links Google returns for the keywords "java keybinding tutorial" will be what you need.

I've now looked around for some time, but I can't really find anything that I can understand.

I guesse I'll not be very popular for asking this question, but can anyone write a example for using keybindings please?

thanks (and maybe sorry) in advance

I doubt that any of our examples will be better written then that in the Sun Swing tutorials. You'll probably be better off going through this tutorial and the sample code (perhaps again), and then posting any specific questions about the tutorial and / or the code if you still don't understand it.

Best of luck.

Thanks, I'll try.
