copied!<p>Have you tried giving the component of interest a ComponentListener, and in its <code>componentShown(...)</code> request the focus via <code>requestFocusInWindow()</code>? Something like:</p> <pre><code> myComponent.addComponentListener(new ComponentAdapter() { @Override public void componentShown(ComponentEvent cEvt) { Component src = (Component) cEvt.getSource(); src.requestFocusInWindow(); } }); </code></pre> <p>Of course the component (a JPanel in your case) needs to have its focusable property set to true via </p> <pre><code>myComponent.setFocusable(true); </code></pre> <p>For example:</p> <pre><code>import java.awt.*; import java.awt.event.*; import javax.swing.*; @SuppressWarnings("serial") public class CardLayoutFocus extends JPanel { private static final int PREF_W = 300; private static final int PREF_H = 150; private static final int COUNT = 4; private CardLayout cardlayout = new CardLayout(); private JPanel cardHolder = new JPanel(cardlayout ); public CardLayoutFocus() { setLayout(new BorderLayout()); add(cardHolder, BorderLayout.CENTER); for (int i = 0; i < COUNT; i++) { String labelString = "Card " + i; cardHolder.add(createCardLabel(labelString), labelString); } int timerDelay = 1000; new Timer(timerDelay , new ActionListener() { public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent arg0) { cardlayout.next(cardHolder); } }).start(); } private JLabel createCardLabel(String labelString) { final JLabel label = new JLabel(labelString, SwingConstants.CENTER); label.setName(labelString); label.setOpaque(true); label.setFocusable(true); label.addFocusListener(new FocusListener() { @Override public void focusLost(FocusEvent arg0) { label.setBackground(null); } @Override public void focusGained(FocusEvent arg0) { label.setBackground(Color.pink); } }); label.addComponentListener(new ComponentAdapter() { @Override public void componentShown(ComponentEvent cEvt) { Component src = (Component) cEvt.getSource(); src.requestFocusInWindow(); } }); return label; } @Override public Dimension getPreferredSize() { return new Dimension(PREF_W, PREF_H); } private static void createAndShowGui() { CardLayoutFocus mainPanel = new CardLayoutFocus(); JFrame frame = new JFrame("Pink if has the focus"); frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE); frame.getContentPane().add(mainPanel); frame.pack(); frame.setLocationByPlatform(true); frame.setVisible(true); } public static void main(String[] args) { SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() { public void run() { createAndShowGui(); } }); } } </code></pre>
