JTextField

Question

how to set the focus in the JTextField??

Answer 1

JTextField extends JComponent so JTextField would have this method.

Answer 2

The abstract class Component which JTextField extends provides a requestFocus() method.

JTextField jtf = getTextFieldFromSomewhere();
jtf.requestFocus();

Answer 3

Use requestFocusInWindow()

requestFocus() can be used but is discouraged as it is platform dependent.
