How to Set Focus on JTextField?

Question

I make my game run without mouse so using pointer is not a choice. High Score menu will show when player lose.

this is my code

    highScore=new MyTe         


        

Answer 1

In my case nothing above worked untill I called requestFocus() AFTER my constructor has returned.

MyPanel panel = new MyPanel(...);
frame.add(panel);
panel.initFocus();

MyPanel.initFocus() would have:

myTextField.requestFocus();

And it works.
