Can anyone help me to set a KeyPress action on a currently opened jInternalFrame?

I have a jDesktopPane inside a jframe, and I have multiple jInternalFrame inside the DesktopPane. I am using Netbeans to create this application.

On the jDesktopPane I have 3 buttons to open 3 jInternalFrame, and I created a Keypress on those buttons and it works fine using this code:

private void formKeyPressed(java.awt.event.KeyEvent evt) {                                
    // TODO add your handling code here:
     if(evt.getKeyCode()==KeyEvent.VK_F3){
        frmLogistics.setVisible(true);
        frmLogistics.toFront();
    }
}

A jInternalFrame is open and inside there's a jtoolbar with sets of buttons, one of it is a close button to close that opened jInternalFrame. I set up the code for its ActionPerform so when a user clicks that button the frame or window will be closed.

The problem now is how about a keyboard press? I want to trigger that close button inside the toolbar in a internalframe in order to close it

I tried this code:

  private void btnCloseLogisticsKeyPressed(java.awt.event.KeyEvent evt) {                                             
    // TODO add your handling code here:
    if(evt.getKeyCode()==KeyEvent.VK_F4){
         int type = JOptionPane.YES_NO_OPTION;
        int choice = JOptionPane.showConfirmDialog(this,"Do You Want to Log Out?","Exit Logistics System", type);
        if(choice == JOptionPane.YES_OPTION){
            frmLogistics.setVisible(false);
            frmLogIn.show();
            btnCashier.setEnabled(false);
            btnTrucking.setEnabled(false);
            btnAccounting.setEnabled(false);
        }
    }
}

But nothing happens. I tried to put that code inside jtoolbar, jInternalFrame and still nothing happens. Maybe anyone of you could help me?

For Swing, typically use key bindings over the AWT based, lower level, KeyListener. See How to Use Key Bindings for details on how to use them.
