CASE:
create jpanel
add a few textbox horizontally
set panel to setComponentOrientation(ComponentOrientation.RIGHT_TO_LEFT)
PROBLEM:
when running, focus on one textbox and press tab button , the focus will jump from left to right , how do i make it jump from right to left?
FOLLOW UP:
say I want one component to be skipped, I can catch the on focus event for this component, but can i issue an automated additional tab click to jump to the next component ?
Thanks a lot for any help.
Check out FocusTraversalPolicy.
Here's an example.

I have an icon in my application and I made it clickable (When I click the icon, some action is called), but the problem is, you have to be really accurate. On the other hand the menu icon (the 3 dots) has a bigger "range" and when you click little bit outside, it is still working. Is there any way to achieve the same thing at the app icon? Or is there any better way to make a clickable icon in the upper left corner than using app icon?
Add padding to the icon, the more padding you add to it, the more clickable area you ll get!
Try to put a transparent button over your icon. Don't forget to make it unclickable and put enabled to false, so it doesn't intercepts the click intended for the icon.
I have a Jsplitpane where on the left side I show a list and on the right side there is JTabbedPane. If I click on a list item, then the JTabbedPane will update the info. Everything works good.
Now my question is, when no list item is clicked on ( so basically when you run it first time), then I want to to replace the JTabbedPane with empty panel (blank right side). I tried to do setVisibility to be off on the JtabbedPane but then the divider is pushed all the way to the right. Is there a quick way to just make this JtabbedPane blank and then somehow make it appear later on. Here are screenshots to better explain the situation:

I have set up a mouse dragged listener. I trying to set it up where you can click one button then drag your mouse over others to click the other ones. The problem I am having is when you click the first button it turns grey like its waiting for you to release the mouse button. When you move your mouse off the button (still holding the left mouse button) it returns back to its normal color but you cant highlight anything until you let go. Is there anyway to simulated letting the mouse go and "unclicking" the button so you can highlight other things?
What you observe is the typical behavior of the ButtonModel used by Swing buttons. A complete example is examined here, but note how the effect depends on the chosen Look & Feel's ButtonUI delegate.
To get the effect you want, you would have to create buttons using your own variation of BasicButtonUI and a custom ButtonModel that uses isRollover() to add buttons to your program's notion of a selection model.
As an alternative, consider JList, which contains a ListSelectionModel that allows MULTIPLE_INTERVAL_SELECTION. A compete example is shown here.
This is the scenario:
I have a JTable of nxn. In the Col(0) of each cell, have a slider with two thumbs each for min and max,two JTextField to represent min and max.
Whenever i click for first time on the cell, slider doesn't responds but on the second click the slider responds.
My guess is that on the first click the JTable gets the focus and on the second click the cell.
would like the cell to respond on the first click.
Thank you on advance...

As I didn't see your code, I guess it's the FocusTraTraversalPolicy that is causing your problem.
In each container of Swing, the components have a predefined order of getting focus. They get the focus in order when you press the Tab button on the keyboard. So when you first click a container, there's a default component that gets the focus, if you're not satisfied with it, you can use the FocusTraversalPolicy to modify it.

I am adding a button to a panel using Miglayout, and try what I might, I cannot get it to go to the right end of the panel. It insists on going flush left. Oddly, the demo is kind of short on such on a example (it only shows it in the context of other buttons on the same panel.
I have a panel like this:
dialog
->complex display retrieved from another class
OK Button here.
Except that it always insists on putting it like this:
dialog
->complex display retrieved from another class
OK Button here.
OK, I got the answer to this (finally). When adding the panel that contains the button add the component constraint of "gapbefore push." I had been trying that, but only on the button itself, not the panel.
panel.add(button, "skip(the amount of cells you have), al 100%")
