Hey I have a panel class in which there are two panels, one of the panels have text field. I want to perform an action when it gets focused. The panel is added on the main frame.
Use FocusListener
, here is simple example:
import java.awt.BorderLayout;
import java.awt.event.FocusAdapter;
import java.awt.event.FocusEvent;
import java.awt.event.FocusListener;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JTextField;
public class TestFrame extends JFrame{
public TestFrame(){
init();
setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
pack();
setVisible(true);
}
private void init() {
JTextField f1 = new JTextField(5);
f1.addFocusListener(getFocusListener());
add(f1,BorderLayout.SOUTH);
add(new JTextField(5),BorderLayout.NORTH);
}
private FocusListener getFocusListener() {
return new FocusAdapter() {
@Override
public void focusGained(FocusEvent e) {
super.focusGained(e);
System.out.println("action");
}
};
}
public static void main(String... s){
new TestFrame();
}
}
Also JFrame
has getFocusOwner()
method.
