how do i get componet event in Panel ?

[pandar2]

hi all.
I am newer in java and English is not my native language.

I made a JPanel and add several JTextFields in the Panel.
If KeyEvent occur in JTextFiled ,I want to get Event in Panel using processJKeyEvent.
When Focus is on JTextField and if key was pressed, I think code,super.processKeyEvent in overrided JTextField call processKeyEvent overrided JPanel.
But It does not work.
How do i get JTextFields event processKeyEvent overrided JPanel ?
Even though I call super.precessKeyEvent,why it does not work ?
The test code like this

import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;

class JPanelTest extends JPanel
{
public JPanelTest()
{
Button b=new Button("b1");
myJTextField t=new myJTextField(10);

setLayout(new FlowLayout());

add(b);
add(t);
enableEvents(AWTEvent.KEY_EVENT_MASK);
setFocusable(true); :)
}

protected void processKeyEvent(KeyEvent e)
{
char KeyChar;

KeyChar=e.getKeyChar();
System.out.println("test:Panel");
}

class myJTextField extends JTextField
{
public myJTextField(int leng)
{
super(leng);
enableEvents(AWTEvent.KEY_EVENT_MASK);
}

protected void processKeyEvent(KeyEvent e)
{
System.out.println("test:TextField");
super.processKeyEvent(e);
}
}

public static void main(String args[])
{
JFrame f=new JFrame();
JPanelTest jt=new JPanelTest();

f.add(jt);
f.setSize(300,300);
f.setVisible(true);

}
}

KeyEvents are dispatched to the component with focus.

I don't really understand what you are attempting to do, but it seems like you should be using a Global Event Listener or maybe Key Bindings.

I don't think there is ever an reason to override the processKeyEvent.

import javax.swing.*;

import java.awt.event.*;

class ForwardTest extends JPanel
{
    public ForwardTest()
    {
        JButton b=new JButton("b1");
        myJTextField t=new myJTextField(10);
        System.out.println("Default layout manager for JPanel: " +
                            getLayout().getClass().getName());
//        setLayout(new FlowLayout());

        add(b);
        add(t);
        enableEvents(AWTEvent.KEY_EVENT_MASK);
        setFocusable(true);
    }

    protected void processKeyEvent(KeyEvent e)
    {
        System.out.println("test:Panel " +
                            e.getKeyText(e.getKeyCode()));
    }

    class myJTextField extends JTextField
    {
        public myJTextField(int leng)
        {
            super(leng);
            enableEvents(AWTEvent.KEY_EVENT_MASK);
        }

        protected void processKeyEvent(KeyEvent e)
        {
            System.out.println("test:TextField " +
                                e.getKeyText(e.getKeyCode()));
            // Forward this event to the parent JPanel.
            getParent().dispatchEvent(e);
            // Pass it on.
            super.processKeyEvent(e);
        }
    }

    public static void main(String args[])
    {
        JFrame f=new JFrame();
        f.add(new ForwardTest());
        f.setSize(300,300);
        f.setLocation(200,200);
        f.setVisible(true);
    }
}

Thnaks for reply.
It done as I want.
I try to make a three TextField input telephone number and want to like a excel cells with arrow key
,so I have to filter Numberic key input ,and control three Fileds caret.
Such reason make me to get KeyEvent in JPanel.
thanks again hardwi,camickr


But I have a an other question ...
I make a severial JTextFields for name,adderss,etc and add them JFrame using GridLayout.
and add above three JTextField unsing FlowLayout in JPanel for telephone number and then add this JPanel on JFrame together.
Because telephone number need to use 3 columns and they are not different size,I have been used FlowLayout.
How to remove margine(?),space(?) in FlowLayout Manager ?

code like this

import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;

class Customer extends JFrame
{
public Customer()
{
JTextField t1,t2,t3,t4,t5;
JPanel p1;

p1=new JPanel();

t1=new JTextField(10);
t2=new JTextField(10);

p1.setLayout(new FlowLayout());

t3=new JTextField(3);
t4=new JTextField(4);
t5=new JTextField(5);


p1.add(t3);
p1.add(t4);
p1.add(t5);


setLayout(new GridLayout(3,1));

add(t1);
add(t2);
add(p1);

setSize(300,120);
setVisible(true);
}

public static void main(String[] args)
{
new Customer();

}
}
