Automatically set focus on JTextField
caret, java, jframe, jtextfield, swing
Solution
Focus is controlled in a number of ways in Swing, but in your case, the simplest might be to simply use `JTextField#requestFocusInWindow`
It's a little off topic, but you might want to take a look at How to use the a Focus Subsystem
Problem
Cant find an answer for this (or most likely Im not asking properly). How can I set focus on `JTextField textfield1` as soon as my `JFrame` is initiated? by focus I mean the user can start typing right away without having to click on the `JTextField`. I tried `textfield1.setCaretPosition(0)` and `textfield1.moveCaretPosition(0)`, neither worked. Also the focus stays on the submit button after clicking it (even if I call the above 2 after the click).
