RE: FW: Using NextFocusableComponent attribute

Hi!

I noticed that the setNextFocusableComponent() method is deprecated
just after I had repost the message here -- the correct way to handle
focus traversal is via FocusTraversalPolicy-classes.

I made some tests based on your suggestion below. If I add the 
following line of code into a SwiXml program:

    System.out.println(((JFrame) se.find("frame"))
            .getFocusTraversalPolicy().getClass().getName());

(the component with id "frame" is a frame, se is a SwingEngine 
instance), "javax.swing.LayoutFocusTraversalPolicy" is printed.
So the default policy is the LayoutFocusTraversalPolicy. With
that policy the order of the component definitions in the XML
file doesn't count.

If I set the policy of the frame to be the 
ContainerOrderFocusTraversalPolicy in the code, the order of the
components in the XML file counts. But, this policy gives the 
focus to such components as vbox and scrollpane (without scrollbars)
also. Even setting the focusable attribute of these components to 
false doesn't help. That's something I don't want to happen.

And then, how about Franklin -- will it be possible to arrange the
components in the XML file if using Franklin in the future?


   BR, Teemu
