Set tab order feature in a Swing project ...

[ncister]

Hi,

I'm using WBP v. 4.1.1 build 2005.09.18 and i've tried to use the "Set tab order" feature in a Swing project (a standard startable JFrame class) .... but it seems not works ....
I've also tried the same feature within an SWT project ant it's works well ..... any suggestions ?
Again, to use the this feature i must deploy the designer.jar library, is it true ?

Thanks.
Nicola.

If you have set the tab order for the JFrame's contentPane, set its focusCycleRoot property to true.

Alternatively, you can click on the JFrame itself in the component tree and set its focusTraversalPolicy property directly.

No. You do not need to include the designer.jar file.

Designer does not require any runtime files. All code it needs is generated by the tool into your project.

Hi Eric, and thank you for replay

No. You do not need to include the designer.jar file.

OK, but the project require FocusTraversalOnArray class .....
Indeed the Eclipse IDE raise the follow error message

Code: Select all

The import com.swtdesigner.FocusTraversalOnArray cannot be resolved ....

How i can solve this dependance ?
What (deployable) library include the FocusTraversalOnArray class ?
Thanks.

the project require FocusTraversalOnArray class

That class is automatically added to your project any time it is needed. If it was not added to your project, check your .log file for exceptions.

The file is also availabe in the plugins\com.swtdesigner_4.1.1\supplied_src\com\swtdesigner directory, if you want to add it to your project manually.

What (deployable) library include the FocusTraversalOnArray class ?

There isn't any. The class is meant to be added to you project as source (like any other generated code).

Hi Eric,

The problem is that the designer search the class in supplied_src5 subdirectory while it's located in the supplied_src subdirectory as shown by log messages:

Code: Select all

!ENTRY com.swtdesigner 4 4 2005-09-19 14:23:10.216
!MESSAGE Designer internal error: /supplied_src5/com/swtdesigner/FocusTraversalOnArray.java
!STACK 0
java.io.FileNotFoundException: /supplied_src5/com/swtdesigner/FocusTraversalOnArray.java
   at org.eclipse.osgi.framework.internal.protocol.bundleentry.Handler.findBundleEntry(Handler.java:42)
   at .........

I think that will include this class in my standard framework libraries.
Thanks.

Ah, so I guess you are using JDK 1.5. In the latest 4.1.1 build, that file is provided in both directories.
