Re: textfield focus

Extend it like so:

public class FocusTextField extends JTextField {
       public FocusTextField() {
           super();
           addFocusListener(new FocusListener() {
            public void focusGained(FocusEvent e) {
            }
            public void focusLost(FocusEvent e) {
            fireActionPerformed();
            }
        });
       }
   }

This text field will fire a regular action event upon losing focus, so 
you can use the swix Action attribute to specify the listener:


<focustextfield id="tf1" key="profile namelist" Columns="80" 
Text="Swixm1" Action="tfAction"/>

Be sure to register your new class with a tag:

swix.getTaglib().registerTag( "focustextfield", FocusTextField.class);

where swix is your SwingEngine (by the way, in a previous post I kept 
calling that "SwixEngine" -sorry!).

It would be nice if Swix supported setters starting with "add" and 
objects as settings for attributes other than Action.
