Stopping JPopupMenu stealing the focus

Question

I have a JTextField for which I\'m hoping to suggest results to match the user\'s input. I\'m displaying these suggestions in a JList contained within

Answer 1

It looks straight forward to me. Add the following

field.requestFocus();

after

 menu.add(list);
 menu.show(field, 0, field.getHeight());

Of course, you will have to code for when to hide the popup etc based on what is going on with the JTextField.

i.e;

 menu.show(field, field.getX(), field.getY()+field.getHeight());
 menu.setVisible(true);
 field.requestFocus();
