how to set focus to an AWT edit field?

[lucy]

Hi, I am desinging GUI,

Everytime I update the plot in axes window, the focus on the edit UI control
is lost.

How can I set focus back to this edit field control to let the user continue
his input?

Thank you,

-Lucy

object u want

Well, strictly speaking, you can't force the reassignment. But if you have
the desired object call requestFocus(), it will probably get focus in a
reasonable time.

the right question is - why you lost focus?
Post short compilable code, may be we'll find some mistake.

I am trying to do some "automatic" focusing for some other applications, not
written by me, but I need to focus on a edit control on it in order to save
some energy...

To get assistance, you need to post a small, complete, compilable code
example that shows the problem.

If you actually want assistance, post a short, complete, compilable example
that shows the problem.

this is simple - your request was not refused, the problem is that _after_
your request
focus gone because of some processing.
Try this form:

SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
myComponent.requestFocus();
});
