POLWUIT Tab navigation/list focus issue
text
Body
copied!<p>I have embedded 3 'TABS' on top of a form. Each tab has a 'LIST'. Whenever I change focus from one tab to another, I want my lists to have focus. How do I ensure that my lists always have focus? I navigate using gameKeyEvents. I have added an actionListener to my form for game key events. I cannot override the keyReleased() method of the form as I need to add an action listener to my form(it contains other commands too).</p> <p>I tried overriding the keyreleased() method of my ‘Tabs’ class , but thats not working(WHY??). Nothing happens.</p> <pre><code>Tabs holder = new Tabs() { public void keyReleased(int keyEvent) { System.out.println("key release is working"); // this statement does not work } }; </code></pre> <p>When i shift tabs by navigating through left and right keys, my lists lose focus (their selection appears faded) and at other times they hold focus (their selection appears solid.) How do I ensure that my lists always have focus? This is very essential for my program to work. I have attached the snapshots. Please assist.</p> <p>Please see the attached pictures.</p> <p>In picture 1, you will see that the list item 3 is highlighted. Now, if I press the left/right/down game keys ...the focus disappears from the list and goes to the tab at 3rd position. I WANT TO PREVENT THIS. (not able to post images cuz am a new user. please check the links)</p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/BSMwG.jpg" alt="enter image description here"></p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/5dYWn.jpg" alt="enter image description here"></p>
