The order of add statements defines the Tab order. Just change the order of the add statements . If you want the display in a particular format use some layout manager to place the componenents as you want but the add statements must be in the order of your tab sequence<br />

Another way to do it that I haven't tried but just came to think about is to catch KeyEvents for the Panel and use setFocus() method calls to control the order it the key pressed is tab.<br />

You can seperate focus traversal into a focusmanager class to which you will give a list of components. To change focus traversal order, pass the same list again in a different order. The focusmanager implements focus listener interface and traverses the focus using requestFocus if the registered listeners on focus traversal agree for that.<br />

Java is a platform-independent, object-oriented programming language and run-time environment, designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible such that developers can write one set of code across all platforms using libraries. Most devices will not run Java natively, and require a run-time component to be installed in order to execute a Java program.
