Focus on a frame

[Allan Valeriano]

Hi all,

how can I get a JFrame to be the focused window on top of all others?
I've tried

setAlwaysOnTop(true);
requestFocusInWindow();

but it didn't work.
I also tried

setAlwaysOnTop(true);
requestFocus();


but it seems that those aren't the right methods to do that.
Does anybody knows how can I get the frame to be on top of all others
and be the focused window?

setAlwaysOnTop(true);
requestFocus();

To some extent, it depends where, when,
under what circumstances these methods
are called. A quick test here showed
no problems getting focus (Win XP, Java 6)
to the second of three JFrames using
requestFocus().

but it didn't work.

Can you provide an SSCCE that shows
this behaviour?
