    <p>I'm working on a Swing application that uses the default Swing methods for handling focus. Focus isn't working as I'd expect.</p> <p>In one case, I have a JTextField that I call .requestFocusInWindow() When the window is displayed a JLabel has focus instead</p> <p>The Java 6 docs for JLabel say "As a result, it cannot get the keyboard focus." <a href="http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/javax/swing/JLabel.html" rel="nofollow">http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/javax/swing/JLabel.html</a></p> <p>However, I have a sample application that shows a JLabel receiving focus and KeyboardFocusManager.getFocusOwner() returns that component. (http://github.com/akinsgre/swingStarter)</p> <p>The code the the class is <a href="https://raw.github.com/akinsgre/swingStarter/master/src/main/java/test/HelloWorldSwing.java" rel="nofollow">https://raw.github.com/akinsgre/swingStarter/master/src/main/java/test/HelloWorldSwing.java</a></p> <p>Can anyone help me understand or explain what I'm missing?</p>

    1. COmost of us not going to the unknow_depots, and for future readers especially, for better help sooner edit your question with an [SSCCE](http://sscce.org/), JLabel and one of focusable JComponent e.g. JTextField with demonstrating your Focus and Focusable

    2. CONo idea why the JLabel would receive focus but a suggestion for your other problem. The javadoc for [requestFocus()](http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/awt/Component.html#requestFocus(boolean)) recommends to not use that method as it is platform dependent and to use [requestFocusInWindow()](http://docs.oracle.com/javase/1.5.0/docs/api/java/awt/Component.html#requestFocusInWindow()) whenever possible.

    3. COmKorbel: I thought I was doing that. The Github repo (unknown?) is a maven project, with a Single class file. But.. OK. The class file is here https://raw.github.com/akinsgre/swingStarter/master/src/main/java/test/HelloWorldSwing.java (and isn't a link to the source better than pasting the code inline)?

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
