#1

Hey

As yo u may know i am working on a conversing of ttd but i am having thefollowing problem
When i let the user choose its resolution (by using a jdialog) before launching the game my jframe
doenst gain the focus when opening.
When i start my app without the jdialog first aeverything goes fine but when i use the jdialog before creating
the jframe it doens obtain the focus. Any ideas how this comes and to solve it?

thx

#2

requestFocus()

#3

tried it but didnt help (i dont have to it when just using jframe)
even tried requestFocusInWindow

#4

setFocusable(true); ?

#5

whats the JDialog’s owner?

this is one of the few uses where one should use requestFocus() over requestFocusInWindow(), make sure that setVisible(true); is called,and executed before the requestFocus();

#6

the jdialog has no owner because its just appearing before the actual launch of the game. So no jframe has been created yet

#7

I think the only way to overcome this problem is by creating the frame first, show it with a placeholder panel inside, display the dialog with this frame as the owner and modify the existing frame after the dialog exits.

#8

if requestFocus on the window doesnt work, try it on the window’s content pane.
