How do I change the tab order of my components? I checked the

Swing?
If Swing then start with:

I created my JFrame by using NetBeans and drag& dropping the base
frame on my form. I can't figure out how to "name" this base frame.
I want to try
//Make textField get the focus whenever frame is activated.
frame.addWindowFocusListener(new WindowAdapter() {
public void windowGainedFocus(WindowEvent e) {
textField.requestFocusInWindow();
}
});
which is in the URL you sent me.
How can I do that?
In this example,<http://pastebin.com/nWHciPh0>, Main extends JFrame.
After line 10, one might add the following:
this.addWindowFocusListener(new WindowAdapter() {...});
Another way is to have a main class contain a JFrame member. This is useful
when you don't need to specialize the behavior of the JFrame. The JFrame can
also live as a local variable inside a 'main' or other method.
The question of extending (inheritance) vs. including (composition) is part of
the art.
