How to input text from a swing on screen keyboard to another swing JFrame

2 frames

I have a swing on screen keyboard that can be used to send key presses to the other JFrame but it is not focusing on the JTextField.

Should I put jtextfield.requestfocus in every key so it should work?

Note:

The Input JFrame calls the keyboard Swing and passes the JTextField instance for focus request

Solution

  • When you create your keyboard frame you can use:

    frame.setFocusableWindowState(false);

    This should prevent the window from receiving focus to focus will remain on the other window.
