Tabbing

[magpor]

I would like to define the tab order between different views. I use Jide dockingmanager and now when I tab I do it according to the default KeyboardFocuManager in Swing. I need a way to define tab order between all components available on the screen. I think the best would be if I could inject the tab order dependency for the entire client and maybe set the KeyboardFocuManager on the dockingmangers frame.

Is there anyone who has been thinking along this path? And if so any best practises learned.

Cheers

Magnus,

have you seen this thread on the JIDE support forums:

It looks like you can register key pressed to navigate through the frames and the order is defined by the order they are added. If I get some time I'll investigate methods of making this easier via the integration code.

If you have any experimentation results please let me know
