Class SimpleTextAreaTraversal


  • public final class SimpleTextAreaTraversal
    extends java.lang.Object
    This class can be used to replace the default traversal keys for any JTextArea object. As you already know when advancing focus inside a form, using the TAB key, when you reach a text area you need to press CTRL+TAB in order to advance the focus to the next component. With this class you can address this issue and use the TAB key instead.
