Giving a JButton the focus

Did you get your table focus issue fixed?

Thanks for asking.  No, I have practically lost hope on that.  I am still searching for other ways to get rid of that bug.  I put that table in a panel, maybe if I can get it to just not tab over the panel, that would even work.  

Have u try what I suggested yet?

(It is not a bug).

I am afraid I might need a thorough example.  I tried with what you gave me but I kept on getting errors.  It is really confusing me.  

The example I gave you was pretty complete, all you needed to add was your required constructor.

Perhaps you should spend some time improving your Java skills. Sun has a good overall tutorial at:
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/

requestFocus() is the correct method.
Can you post your code?

Combine requestFocus() with setFocusPainted(true) - I believe that's the method name.

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

public class test extends JFrame {
  JButton b1 = new JButton("B1");
  JButton b2 = new JButton("B2");
  JButton b3 = new JButton("B3");

  public test() {
    getContentPane().setLayout(new GridLayout());
    getContentPane().add(b1);
    getContentPane().add(b2);
    getContentPane().add(b3);
   
    b1.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
      public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae) {
        b2.requestFocus();
      }
    });
    b2.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
      public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae) {
        b3.requestFocus();
      }
    });
    b3.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
      public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae) {
        b1.requestFocus();
      }
    });
   
  }

  public static void main(String[] args) {
    test t = new test();
    t.setSize(300, 300);
    t.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
    t.setVisible(true);
  }
}

Thanks all of you guys.  I just didn't put request focus in the right place.  I wish I could give all of you points.  Thanks a lot.

thx a lot that help me :)
