Hi All,

Here i have a problem with a JTabbedPane. I want the functionality like
arrow keys for the JTabbedPane. If i press the Ctrl +Tab, It should
have to show the next focusablle tab.

How can i achieve the this type of functionality.

Thank you all.

Srinivas

You can get pretty much everything you want by
going through the tutorial linked from this thread..

The information is in the same tutorial.

( In fact, I was about to post an entirely different version
of that first source - it achieved what you wanted in
another, very bad & hackish way. But it only took
me a couple of minutes searching that tutorial to
find the correct way. Maybe you should read it. )

Hi...

For achieving the ctrl + tab functioality for JTabbedPane , I over
write the addkeyStroke() method,but its not supporting the this
functioality. If i press the ctrl + tab , the focus is going to next
focusable component in that tab. Its not moving to the next tab.
I used the following code

Set forwardKeys = frame.getFocusTraversalKeys(
     KeyboardFocusManager.FORWARD_TRAVERSAL_KEYS);
Set newForwardKeys = new HashSet(forwardKeys);
newForwardKeys.add(
          KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_TAB
,KeyEvent.CTRL_DOWN_MASK, true));
frame.setFocusTraversalKeys(
     KeyboardFocusManager.FORWARD_TRAVERSAL_KEYS,
     newForwardKeys);

I didn't find the ctrl + tab focus traversal for the JTabbed Pane.

Thanks

Srinivas.
