no key events in jpanel

Hi,

I have a JPanel with a background image. I want to receive key events but
the events are not coming to my keyListener of my JPanel class. It seems
that the image will block the key events.
How to receive key events when a background image is in effect.

Thanks a lot

Johan

javax.swing.InputMap was introduced in 1.3
it should be used in preference to the
KeyListener interface (if that is what you
are using)

I would need to see your code.

Give the focus to the JPanel.
