I have had a reoccuring problem of focus not being
on the JList when my application goes to QA for testing. They have to first press the tab key to
highlight the JList. Does anyone know how I can achieve this? I have already tried requestFocus() and requestDefaultFocus().
Thanks,
Barry

hi,
what do you mean by "highlight the JList"? the selection of a row?
you can easily transfer focus to the JList by preselecting the first row for example. by default no row is selected.
cheers,
Chantal
