KeyListener & JComponent

[Mrs Kensington]

I'm trying to create my own custom control and want to use a KeyListener with it. But when i press a key after clicking the control i get absolutely nothing.

Any ideas?

Thanx in advance!

This is my test code...

import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;

class Test extends JComponent implements KeyListener
{
	public Test()
	{
		this.addKeyListener(this);
	}
	
	//Key Listener
	public void keyTyped(KeyEvent e){}
	public void keyPressed(KeyEvent e)
	{
		System.out.println("Key Pressed!");
	}
	public void keyReleased(KeyEvent e){}
	
	public static void main(String[] args)
	{
		JFrame myFrame = new JFrame("Calendar Test");
		JPanel thePanel = new JPanel(new BorderLayout());
		thePanel.add(new Test(), BorderLayout.CENTER);
		myFrame.getContentPane().add(thePanel);
		myFrame.setVisible(true);
	}
}

ok managed to work it out!

Just so people know, you have to overide the isFocusTraversable() method and return true (or false when its disabled).

so just add this code...

public boolean isFocusTraversable()
{
    return true;
}
