TabbedPane cycling

[Sege Stephen]

I would like to implement TabbedPane cycling for my Gui. If you look at firefox or IE 7, and you have many tabs opened, you can navigate using ctrl + tab, I would like this type of functionality in my Application. I have search online and cannot find anything, I can actually use short key by assigning a tab a number - ie Alt + 1 , for tab 1 ; Alt + 2 , for tab 2; Alt + 3 , for tab 3 and so on...... but that is not so cool. if you do control + tab, it is better that way..


Text books don't usually mention these things, if you have a reference code, it would be better.

Thanks

InputMap im = tabbedPane.getInputMap(JTable.WHEN_ANCESTOR_OF_FOCUSED_COMPONENT);
KeyStroke controlTab = KeyStroke.getKeyStroke("control TAB");
im.put(controlTab, "navigateRight");

To understand why the above works check out the Key Bindings entry.
