KeyListener

Java 2D
#1

Hey

I have a game with a jframe as main. That jframe contains a jdesktoppane which itself contains some jinternalframes.
I have added several listeren to the jdesktop pane (keyboard, mouse, mousemotion, mousewheel) but hte keyboardlistener doesnt react
However when i add i to the jframe it reacts. All the mouselisteners do react when i add them to the jdesktoppane. This would not be a problem
if the keyboardlistenener kept on reacting. How ever when i click a button on an jinternalframe my keys stop reacting as well. As for the
mouselisteners there is never a problem. How can i still add the keylistener to the jdesktoppane and keep it reacting?

thx

Is it focusable? Does it get the focus?

#3

is tried using grabFocus();
but without anysuccess

#4

But that doesn’t tell you whether it gets focus. Find out whether it actually has focus. Note: TextComponents generally claim focus from other components.

#5

no it hasnt. How can i focus it then if grabFocus doenst work?

#6

solved the problme thx for al the replies

#7

Okay, if you share the solution then someone might benefit from it (unless it was utterly irrelevant :slight_smile: )

#8

i used grabFocus when creating the desktoppane but that focus was lost afterwards bcz the main frame underwent some changes

so i just used grabfocus at the end and then it works
