Switching Focus between Jtables Query?

Question

I have two Jtables Emplyoee and Manager.If I enter on Emplyoee Table then focus should go on Manager table.I used ChangeSelection but it is not working.

Answer 1

The simplest solution I can think of is to attach a key binding to the Employee table that moves focus to the Manager

Take a look at Key Bindings for more details.

Within your action handler, you would need to call requestFocusInWindow using a instance of the Manager table.

I did look at the focus sub system, but this would effect the entire focus root, which I felt was beyond the scope of what you were asking.

You could change the focus traversal keys, but this will only move focus to the next focusable component...

Set forward = new HashSet(table.getFocusTraversalKeys(KeyboardFocusManager.FORWARD_TRAVERSAL_KEYS));
forward.add(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke("ENTER"));
table.setFocusTraversalKeys(KeyboardFocusManager.FORWARD_TRAVERSAL_KEYS, forward);
//Set backward = new HashSet(table.getFocusTraversalKeys(KeyboardFocusManager.BACKWARD_TRAVERSAL_KEYS));
//backward.add(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke("shift TAB"));
//table.setFocusTraversalKeys(KeyboardFocusManager.BACKWARD_TRAVERSAL_KEYS, backward);
