Adds a KeyEventDispatcher to this KeyboardFocusManager's dispatcher chain. This KeyboardFocusManager will request that each KeyEventDispatcher dispatch KeyEvents generated by the user before finally dispatching the KeyEvent itself. KeyEventDispatchers will be notified in the order in which they were added. Notifications will halt as soon as one KeyEventDispatcher returns true from its dispatchKeyEvent method. There is no limit to the total number of KeyEventDispatchers which can be added, nor to the number of times which a particular KeyEventDispatcher instance can be added.

If a null dispatcher is specified, no action is taken and no exception is thrown.

In a multithreaded application, KeyEventDispatcher behaves the same as other AWT listeners. See AWT Threading Issues for more details.

Adds a KeyEventPostProcessor to this KeyboardFocusManager's post- processor chain. After a KeyEvent has been dispatched to and handled by its target, KeyboardFocusManager will request that each KeyEventPostProcessor perform any necessary post-processing as part of the KeyEvent's final resolution. KeyEventPostProcessors will be notified in the order in which they were added; the current KeyboardFocusManager will be notified last. Notifications will halt as soon as one KeyEventPostProcessor returns true from its postProcessKeyEvent method. There is no limit to the the total number of KeyEventPostProcessors that can be added, nor to the number of times that a particular KeyEventPostProcessor instance can be added.

If a null post-processor is specified, no action is taken and no exception is thrown.

In a multithreaded application, KeyEventPostProcessor behaves the same as other AWT listeners. See AWT Threading Issues for more details.

Adds a PropertyChangeListener to the listener list. The listener is registered for all bound properties of this class, including the following:

• whether the KeyboardFocusManager is currently managing focus for this application or applet's browser context ("managingFocus")
• the focus owner ("focusOwner")
• the permanent focus owner ("permanentFocusOwner")
• the focused Window ("focusedWindow")
• the active Window ("activeWindow")
• the default focus traversal policy ("defaultFocusTraversalPolicy")
• the Set of default FORWARD_TRAVERSAL_KEYS ("forwardDefaultFocusTraversalKeys")
• the Set of default BACKWARD_TRAVERSAL_KEYS ("backwardDefaultFocusTraversalKeys")
• the Set of default UP_CYCLE_TRAVERSAL_KEYS ("upCycleDefaultFocusTraversalKeys")
• the Set of default DOWN_CYCLE_TRAVERSAL_KEYS ("downCycleDefaultFocusTraversalKeys")
• the current focus cycle root ("currentFocusCycleRoot")

If listener is null, no exception is thrown and no action is performed.

Adds a PropertyChangeListener to the listener list for a specific property. The specified property may be user-defined, or one of the following:

• whether the KeyboardFocusManager is currently managing focus for this application or applet's browser context ("managingFocus")
• the focus owner ("focusOwner")
• the permanent focus owner ("permanentFocusOwner")
• the focused Window ("focusedWindow")
• the active Window ("activeWindow")
• the default focus traversal policy ("defaultFocusTraversalPolicy")
• the Set of default FORWARD_TRAVERSAL_KEYS ("forwardDefaultFocusTraversalKeys")
• the Set of default BACKWARD_TRAVERSAL_KEYS ("backwardDefaultFocusTraversalKeys")
• the Set of default UP_CYCLE_TRAVERSAL_KEYS ("upCycleDefaultFocusTraversalKeys")
• the Set of default DOWN_CYCLE_TRAVERSAL_KEYS ("downCycleDefaultFocusTraversalKeys")
• the current focus cycle root ("currentFocusCycleRoot")

If listener is null, no exception is thrown and no action is performed.

Adds a VetoableChangeListener to the listener list for a specific property. The specified property may be user-defined, or one of the following:

• the focus owner ("focusOwner")
• the permanent focus owner ("permanentFocusOwner")
• the focused Window ("focusedWindow")
• the active Window ("activeWindow")

If listener is null, no exception is thrown and no action is performed.

Adds a VetoableChangeListener to the listener list. The listener is registered for all vetoable properties of this class, including the following:

• the focus owner ("focusOwner")
• the permanent focus owner ("permanentFocusOwner")
• the focused Window ("focusedWindow")
• the active Window ("activeWindow")

If listener is null, no exception is thrown and no action is performed.

Clears the global focus owner at both the Java and native levels. If there exists a focus owner, that Component will receive a permanent FOCUS_LOST event. After this operation completes, the native windowing system will discard all user-generated KeyEvents until the user selects a new Component to receive focus, or a Component is given focus explicitly via a call to requestFocus(). This operation does not change the focused or active Windows.

This method is called by the AWT event dispatcher requesting that the current KeyboardFocusManager dispatch the specified event on its behalf. It is expected that all KeyboardFocusManagers will dispatch all FocusEvents, all WindowEvents related to focus, and all KeyEvents. These events should be dispatched based on the KeyboardFocusManager's notion of the focus owner and the focused and active Windows, sometimes overriding the source of the specified AWTEvent. Dispatching must be done using redispatchEvent to prevent the AWT event dispatcher from recursively requesting that the KeyboardFocusManager dispatch the event again. If this method returns false, then the AWT event dispatcher will attempt to dispatch the event itself.

Typically this method will be called by dispatchEvent if no other KeyEventDispatcher in the dispatcher chain dispatched the KeyEvent, or if no other KeyEventDispatchers are registered. If an implementation of this method returns false, dispatchEvent may try to dispatch the KeyEvent itself, or may simply return false. If true is returned, dispatchEvent should return true as well.

Moves the focus down one focus traversal cycle from the current focus owner, if and only if the current focus owner is a Container that is a focus cycle root. Typically, the focus owner is set to the current focus owner's default Component to focus, and the current focus cycle root is set to the current focus owner. If the current focus owner is not a Container that is a focus cycle root, then no focus traversal operation occurs.

Moves the focus down one focus traversal cycle. Typically, if aContainer is a focus cycle root, then the focus owner is set to aContainer's default Component to focus, and the current focus cycle root is set to aContainer. If aContainer is not a focus cycle root, then no focus traversal operation occurs.

Focuses the Component after the current focus owner.

Focuses the Component after aComponent, typically based on a FocusTraversalPolicy.

Focuses the Component before the current focus owner.

Focuses the Component before aComponent, typically based on a FocusTraversalPolicy.

Returns the active Window, if the active Window is in the same context as the calling thread. Only a Frame or a Dialog can be the active Window. The native windowing system may denote the active Window or its children with special decorations, such as a highlighted title bar. The active Window is always either the focused Window, or the first Frame or Dialog that is an owner of the focused Window.

Returns the current focus cycle root, if the current focus cycle root is in the same context as the calling thread. If the focus owner is itself a focus cycle root, then it may be ambiguous as to which Components represent the next and previous Components to focus during normal focus traversal. In that case, the current focus cycle root is used to differentiate among the possibilities.

This method is intended to be used only by KeyboardFocusManagers and focus implementations. It is not for general client use.

Returns a Set of default focus traversal keys for a given traversal operation. This traversal key Set will be in effect on all Windows that have no such Set of their own explicitly defined. This Set will also be inherited, recursively, by any child Component of those Windows that has no such Set of its own explicitly defined. (See setDefaultFocusTraversalKeys for a full description of each operation.)

Returns the default FocusTraversalPolicy. Top-level components use this value on their creation to initialize their own focus traversal policy by explicit call to Container.setFocusTraversalPolicy.

Returns the focused Window, if the focused Window is in the same context as the calling thread. The focused Window is the Window that is or contains the focus owner.

Returns the focus owner, if the focus owner is in the same context as the calling thread. The focus owner is defined as the Component in an application that will typically receive all KeyEvents generated by the user. KeyEvents which map to the focus owner's focus traversal keys will not be delivered if focus traversal keys are enabled for the focus owner. In addition, KeyEventDispatchers may retarget or consume KeyEvents before they reach the focus owner.

Returns the permanent focus owner, if the permanent focus owner is in the same context as the calling thread. The permanent focus owner is defined as the last Component in an application to receive a permanent FOCUS_GAINED event. The focus owner and permanent focus owner are equivalent unless a temporary focus change is currently in effect. In such a situation, the permanent focus owner will again be the focus owner when the temporary focus change ends.

Returns an array of all the property change listeners registered on this keyboard focus manager.

Returns an array of all the PropertyChangeListeners associated with the named property.

Returns an array of all the vetoable change listeners registered on this keyboard focus manager.

Returns an array of all the VetoableChangeListeners associated with the named property.

This method will be called by dispatchKeyEvent. By default, this method will handle any unconsumed KeyEvents that map to an AWT MenuShortcut by consuming the event and activating the shortcut.

This method initiates a focus traversal operation if and only if the KeyEvent represents a focus traversal key for the specified focusedComponent. It is expected that focusedComponent is the current focus owner, although this need not be the case. If it is not, focus traversal will nevertheless proceed as if focusedComponent were the current focus owner.

Redispatches an AWTEvent in such a way that the AWT event dispatcher will not recursively request that the KeyboardFocusManager, or any installed KeyEventDispatchers, dispatch the event again. Client implementations of dispatchEvent and client-defined KeyEventDispatchers must call redispatchEvent(target, e) instead of target.dispatchEvent(e) to dispatch an event.

This method is intended to be used only by KeyboardFocusManagers and KeyEventDispatchers. It is not for general client use.

Removes a KeyEventDispatcher which was previously added to this KeyboardFocusManager's dispatcher chain. This KeyboardFocusManager cannot itself be removed, unless it was explicitly re-registered via a call to addKeyEventDispatcher.

If a null dispatcher is specified, if the specified dispatcher is not in the dispatcher chain, or if this KeyboardFocusManager is specified without having been explicitly re-registered, no action is taken and no exception is thrown.

In a multithreaded application, KeyEventDispatcher behaves the same as other AWT listeners. See AWT Threading Issues for more details.

Removes a previously added KeyEventPostProcessor from this KeyboardFocusManager's post-processor chain. This KeyboardFocusManager cannot itself be entirely removed from the chain. Only additional references added via addKeyEventPostProcessor can be removed.

If a null post-processor is specified, if the specified post-processor is not in the post-processor chain, or if this KeyboardFocusManager is specified without having been explicitly added, no action is taken and no exception is thrown.

In a multithreaded application, KeyEventPostProcessor behaves the same as other AWT listeners. See AWT Threading Issues for more details.

If listener is null, no exception is thrown and no action is performed.

Removes a VetoableChangeListener from the listener list. This method should be used to remove the VetoableChangeListeners that were registered for all vetoable properties of this class.

If listener is null, no exception is thrown and no action is performed.

Sets the default focus traversal keys for a given traversal operation. This traversal key Set will be in effect on all Windows that have no such Set of their own explicitly defined. This Set will also be inherited, recursively, by any child Component of those Windows that has no such Set of its own explicitly defined.

The default values for the default focus traversal keys are implementation-dependent. Sun recommends that all implementations for a particular native platform use the same default values. The recommendations for Windows and Unix are listed below. These recommendations are used in the Sun AWT implementations.

Identifier	Meaning	Default
KeyboardFocusManager.FORWARD_TRAVERSAL_KEYS	Normal forward keyboard traversal	TAB on KEY_PRESSED, CTRL-TAB on KEY_PRESSED
KeyboardFocusManager.BACKWARD_TRAVERSAL_KEYS	Normal reverse keyboard traversal	SHIFT-TAB on KEY_PRESSED, CTRL-SHIFT-TAB on KEY_PRESSED
KeyboardFocusManager.UP_CYCLE_TRAVERSAL_KEYS	Go up one focus traversal cycle	none
KeyboardFocusManager.DOWN_CYCLE_TRAVERSAL_KEYS	Go down one focus traversal cycle	none

To disable a traversal key, use an empty Set; Collections.EMPTY_SET is recommended.

Using the AWTKeyStroke API, client code can specify on which of two specific KeyEvents, KEY_PRESSED or KEY_RELEASED, the focus traversal operation will occur. Regardless of which KeyEvent is specified, however, all KeyEvents related to the focus traversal key, including the associated KEY_TYPED event, will be consumed, and will not be dispatched to any Component. It is a runtime error to specify a KEY_TYPED event as mapping to a focus traversal operation, or to map the same event to multiple default focus traversal operations.

Sets the default FocusTraversalPolicy. Top-level components use this value on their creation to initialize their own focus traversal policy by explicit call to Container.setFocusTraversalPolicy. Note: this call doesn't affect already created components as they have their policy initialized. Only new components will use this policy as their default policy.

Sets the current focus cycle root. If the focus owner is itself a focus cycle root, then it may be ambiguous as to which Components represent the next and previous Components to focus during normal focus traversal. In that case, the current focus cycle root is used to differentiate among the possibilities.

This method is intended to be used only by KeyboardFocusManagers and focus implementations. It is not for general client use.

Moves the focus up one focus traversal cycle from the current focus owner. Typically, the new focus owner is set to the current focus owner's focus cycle root, and the current focus cycle root is set to the new focus owner's focus cycle root. If, however, the current focus owner's focus cycle root is a Window, then typically the focus owner is set to the focus cycle root's default Component to focus, and the current focus cycle root is unchanged.

Moves the focus up one focus traversal cycle. Typically, the focus owner is set to aComponent's focus cycle root, and the current focus cycle root is set to the new focus owner's focus cycle root. If, however, aComponent's focus cycle root is a Window, then typically the focus owner is set to the Window's default Component to focus, and the current focus cycle root is unchanged.
