How do you lose focus?

Newbie & Debugging Questions

I want my game to lose focus when the player presses a certain key (escape).
What method can I used on the component to accomplish this? I’ve looked through the API and there appears to be no equivalent to a “loseFocus()” method
Thanks

I guess if there was a way to disable then re-enable it may push the focus out… or (more drastically) hide and show. Some APIs have the blur() method which will remove focus. Not 100% sure the exact answer because I don’t mess with the UI stuff.

Whatever you’re planning, it sounds like a bad idea. The only thing that a window having focus means is that you receive key events. If you don’t want key events, then just ignore them.

Uhhh…java.awt.Robot move mouse outside, then click?
Probably not a good idea ;D

#5

From the thread title I thought that you were some sort of super-programmer who was asking other programmers for how to not focus.

#6

You cannot force an application to lose focus…at least with AWT.

#7

It really depends on what you mean specifically, but you might look into this:

What do you mean by “lose focus”?? ??? If you have gor the mouse grabbed, just “ungrabbit” using Mouse.setGrabbed(false);

#9

That only works when there are other windows open in the JVM, according to the javadocs.

I got that feeling that he meant that he wanted the camera to lose focus, i.e everything becomes blurry.

I’ve lost focus as to what I am doing.
Wait where am I?
