KeyListener needs to grab focus!

**sim18** · 05-03-2013, 01:18 PM

Hi, thanks in advance to anybody who can help me.

I have two JPanels and a JFrame, I have finally got my image to move on one of the JPanels by using :

Java Code:

cp.addKeyListener(myAnimationPanel);
		cp.requestFocusInWindow();

&&

Java Code:

addKeyListener(this);
		this.requestFocus();

When I load up my program and move the image with arrow keys everything is perfect. THEN i click on a button that is in another JPanel, and now my image loses focus and I cant move it again with the arrow keys :/

Hope somebody can help me

Sorry not sure how to delete this thread, literally just figured it out!!

for anybody else having these problems in the paint method put requestFocus(true);

Woo!
