Thread: Remove focus from JSpinner?

what platform are you using? I use Netbeans and sometimes use forms, on forms there is a properties that you can remove focus. other wise I think the code would go:

jSpinner.setFocus(false);

some platforms you can use ctrl + space bar to bring up a list. I have noticed that when using keystrokes that you need to remove all the focus on most components to get the desired results needed.

hope this helps.

Assuming you mean you're using a KeyEventDispatcher (not a KeyboardEventDispatcher), you need to be very careful how you use these. If you don't want the event dispatched to other components, return false from dispatchKeyEvent(). I would recommend controlling focus via setting the focus cycle root and using a custom FocusTraversalPolicy to set the default focus component appropriately. YMMV.

Ok, I've solved this one. Apparently setting focasable to false on the spinner alone isn't enough; I have to setFocusable(false) on every component of the JSpinner editor object too.

Component[] comps = mySpinner.getEditor().getComponents();
for (Component component : comps) {
    component.setFocusable(false);
}

Now it works as expected
