JFrame Keep Focus

[Ben]

Hi,

Is it possible to make a JFrame keep focus no matter if the user tries
to click other frames? If so how do I do it? I was thinking of using
setFocusableWindowState on all other frames and setting them to false.
Is this the easiest way? Also is it possible to remove the x from the
top of the frame so it can only be closed using a JButton?

Thanks.

Ben.

Not sure if this is the best way but why not add a WindowFocusListener to
the frame you want to retain focus, then when it loses focus request the
focus again?

addWindowFocusListener(new WindowAdapter() {

public void windowLostFocus(WindowEvent evt) {
requestFocusInWindow();
}
});

In the end I found that I can used setEnabled(false) on the forms to
stop users clicking on them.

Will also use
addWindowFocusListener(new WindowAdapter() {

public void windowLostFocus(WindowEvent evt) {
requestFocusInWindow();
}

});

because if forms clicked on task bar they get focus even though they
can't be used.

Actually

addWindowFocusListener(new WindowAdapter() {

public void windowLostFocus(WindowEvent evt) {
requestFocusInWindow();
}

});

didn't work when used with setEnabled(false)
