如何修改JTextArea中tab键的行为?

标签: java swing user-interface widget

我正在Java Swing中创建一个表单,其中一个字段是JTextArea。当我在所有其他字段上使用 Tab 键时,它会将焦点放在下一个窗口小部件上,但在JTextArea中,它会在文本中插入制表符(水平空格)。 / p>

如何修改此行为?

    This is my understanding of how tabbing works. The focus manager
    recognizes the following default KeyStrokes for tabbing:

    forwards:  TAB or Ctrl-TAB
    backwards: Shift-TAB or Ctrl-Shift-TAB

    In the case of JTextArea, TAB and Shift-TAB have been removed from
    the defaults which means the KeyStroke is passed to the text area.
    The TAB KeyStroke inserts a tab into the Document. Shift-TAB seems
    to be ignored.

    This example shows different approaches for tabbing out of a JTextArea

    Also, a text area is typically added to a scroll pane. So when
    tabbing forward the vertical scroll bar would get focus by default.
    Each approach shows how to prevent the scrollbar from getting focus.

当按下“tab”键时,你可以在JTextArea的keylistener中使用“NextWidget.grabFocus()”方法

使用后一种方法,在焦点移开之前,制表符仍将插入JTextArea。如果您不想要这种行为,您可以创建JTextArea的子类,其isManagingFocus()方法始终返回false,而不是true。例如:

import javax.swing.*;

public class NoTabTextArea extends JTextArea {
    public boolean isManagingFocus() {
        return false;
    }
}

NoTabTextArea的实例可以像JTextArea一样使用,除了tab键会导致焦点偏离它而不插入制表符。

您可以在主JFrameJPanel构造函数中调用以下方法。 通过调用方式使用:disableTabbingInTextAreas(this)

public static void disableTabbingInTextAreas(Component component){
    if(component instanceof Container && !(component instanceof JTextArea)){
        for(final Component c : ((Container) component).getComponents() ){
            disableTabbingInTextAreas(c);
        }
    }else if(component instanceof JTextArea){
        final Component c = component;
        c.addKeyListener(new KeyListener() {
            @Override
            public void keyTyped(KeyEvent e) {}

            @Override
            public void keyPressed(KeyEvent e) {
                if(e.getKeyChar() == '\t'){
                    c.transferFocus();
                    e.consume();
                }
            }

            @Override
            public void keyReleased(KeyEvent e) {}
        });
    }
}
